Judgments produced from this category of trial tend to be brief with a concise statement of the issues, a brief reference to the relevant legislation and case law, a statement of the decision and a listing of the pronounced orders. Direct and standard track matters relate to more involved cases and may result in a final or interim judicial decision depending on the nature of the specific case. The trial of direct track matters may take up to one day and standard matters may take up to five days. Direct and standard judgments usually provide more significant discussion of the issues, evidence, legislation and case law. A more detailed discussion of the decision is provided usually with a listing of the pronounced orders.
Complex matters relate to complicated trials which involve multiple issues and detailed evidence.
The trial of these cases may take more than five days. The discussion of the decision made by the Judge may be considerable due to the complexity of the issues. When produced as individual documents, rulings and cost determinations are sometimes referred to as a judgment. When rulings and cost determinations are produced as individual judgments the issues associated with the ruling or cost determination have usually formed a major component of the whole trial. In certain circumstances it is possible to appeal a judicial decision made from a first instance trial.
