The functus officio rule had not been contravened, since the reporting order did not include any power to alter the disposition of the case and did nothing to undermine the provision of a stable basis for launching an appeal. 1, record 1, English, - reporting%20order

La règle du functus officio n'avait pas été contrecarrée puisque l'ordonnance de rendre compte ne permettait pas au juge de modifier le dispositif de son jugement et elle n'empêchait pas les parties de disposer d'une assise stable pour interjeter appel. 1, record 1, French, - ordonnance%20de%20rendre%20compte

De plus, la majorité affirme que le juge de première instance n'a pas excédé ses pouvoirs en exigeant ces comptes rendus. Elle estime que cette décision n'enfreint pas la règle du functus officio : le compte rendu ne s'ajoute pas à l'ordonnance de « faire de son mieux » pour bâtir des écoles, il en fait partie intégrante. Finalement, la décision de première instance est finale et susceptible d'appel. Elle ne contrevient donc pas à la règle de functus officio. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A8gle%20du%20functus%20officio
