44 Power to correct decisions of Court

(1)  If, after the making of a decision by the Court, the Court is satisfied that there is an obvious error in the text of the decision or in a written statement of reasons for the decision, the Court may direct the registrar to alter the text of the decision or statement in accordance with the directions of the Court.

(2)  If the text of a decision or statement is so altered, the altered text is taken to be the decision of the Court or the reasons for the decision, as the case may be.

(3)  Examples of obvious errors in the text of a decision or statement of reasons are where –

(a) there is an obvious clerical or typographical error in the text of the decision or statement of reasons; or

(b) there is an error arising from an accidental slip or omission; or

(c) there is a defect of form; or

(d) there is an inconsistency between the decision and the statement of reasons.
