24 Reserved judgments
When any proceeding, after being fully heard before the Full Court, is ordered to stand for judgment, it shall not be necessary that all the Judges before whom it was heard shall be present together in
Court to declare their opinions thereon, but:
the opinion of any of them may be reduced to writing and may be read or published by any other Judge at any subsequent sitting of the
Full Court at which judgment in the proceeding is appointed to be delivered; and
in any such case the question shall be decided in the same manner, and the judgment of the Full Court shall have the same force and effect, as if the Judge whose opinion is so read or published had been present in Court and declared his opinion in person.
