The Case
A judge had jurisdiction to recall, vary or alter his judgment or proposed order up to the time that the order was perfect, and in the instant case, since the judge had been persuaded that his initial view was wrong, he was positively obliged to alter his draft judgment, and in so doing, his actions could not be considered a procedural irregularity or wrong in law.
