77L  Reserved judgments
 (1) When any cause or matter, after being fully heard before a Full Court, is ordered to stand for judgment, it is not necessary that all the Justices before whom it was heard be present together in court to declare their opinions on the cause or matter, but the opinion of any of them may be reduced to writing and may be read or otherwise made known by any other Justice at any subsequent sitting of a Full Court at which judgment in the cause or matter is delivered. At that subsequent sitting, it is only necessary for a single Justice to be present in court for the purpose of delivering that judgment.
 (2) In any such case the question shall be decided in the same manner, and the judgment of the Court has the same force and effect, as if the Justice whose opinion is so read or otherwise made known had been present in court and had declared his or her opinion in person.
