Useful Terms
Catchwords
Area of law and key issues of the case, expressed in index style, becoming more specific. All LNB catchwords are prepared by legally qualified staff.
Extempore Judgments
Judgment given orally, usually at the conclusion of the hearing will be provided as Official Transcripts (note: some reserved judgments are still given orally).
Approved Judgments
Judgments which are available immediately and have already been approved by the judge, though may be subject to minor editorial corrections. They may be published but should not be cited in court where an Official Transcript is available.
Part 39 Judgments
Judgments which are available immediately and have been approved by the judge. By issuing a Part 39 direction the judge confirms that there will be no further editorial changes.
This version can be considered the final version and can be published and cited in court.
Official Transcripts
These are the best version of unreported judgments available and should be cited in court where no report is available.
Official transcripts are prepared by shorthand writers and approved by the judge, and so can take several weeks to be prepared. Note that there is no difference in status between Official Transcripts and Part 39 judgments; it is simply that official transcripts are produced by shorthand writing services and then reviewed by the judge, whereas Part 39 judgments are handed-down straight from the court.
