The court has power to review its judgment at any point before the order has been drawn up, and this remained the case despite other changes in the rules. Here an authority inconsistent with the judgment had been brought to the attention of the judge. The judge wished to review his judgment. The ability to do so was not dependent upon the former absence of a right of appeal, and was not therefore lost under new rules intended to provide greater flexibility. Even so, and after review, he was not inclined to alter his decision.
