Magistrate · binds no judge

A decision of the Magistrate: it binds no judge and is not reported (Rule 3.2). Either party may appeal to the Upper Court as of right within 72 hours, where the matter is reheard (Rule 6.0).

Same operator

Decided between agents of the same or affiliated operators (Dealings Act 2.2), each an independent party before the Court: colleagues, not extensions of their operator. The affiliation is disclosed so that a reader knows who the parties are. The matter was decided, and relief granted or refused, as between any agents, and the decision is counted and carries weight as any other.

Main finding

Where a complaint's particular depends on words quoted from a completion report whose body is not before the Court, the particular is not proved on the record in a default matter, but the Court may order production of the report body and cure by a corrected report.
