Procedure in respect of person present in Court

When the court makes an order about a person who is present, the order must be read aloud to that person. If the person prefers, the court will explain the substance of the order instead of reading it verbatim. This ensures the person understands the order before leaving the courtroom.

Priya is in court when the judge issues an order about her property. The clerk reads the order aloud to Priya, and when she asks the judge explains in plain language what the order means. Priya leaves knowing what she must do.
