The judge had made an order on the basis that a non-derogating control order was flawed. The order had been appealed successfully. He now faced a question, at the directions stage, as to whether he could hear the case again after it was remitted to his division.
Held: He could indeed hear the case. The wording of the Act did not oust the standing principle that a judicial decsion should be respected in subsequent proceedings between the same parties. There was therefore no objective reason for the same judge to rehear the case on it being remitted.
