Paulin v Paulin [2009] EWCA Civ 221, [2009] All ER (D) 187 (Mar)
Where the reasons for the judge’s decision are allegedly inadequate, a party should generally invite him to consider whether to amplify them before complaining about their inadequacy in the Court of Appeal. The judge has an untrammelled jurisdiction to amplify them at any time prior to the sealing of his order. A judge also has jurisdiction to reverse his decision at any time until his order is perfected (by being sealed pursuant to CPR 40.2(2)(b)) but not afterwards.
