British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McKnight v. Hutchison, 2003 BCCA 407 (CanLII):
In this case, the parties considered that the trial judge’s reasons of 27 September 2002 constituted a judgment for which an order could properly be drawn and entered. (When reasons may not constitute a “judgment”, see paragraphs 15-23 of the dissenting reasons for judgment of Southin J.A. in Reilly v. Lynn 2003 BCCA 49; 10 B.C.L.R. (4th) 16 on the procedural points with which the majority concurred at paragraph 95). However, a final judgment, in the sense of finally disposing of all of the issues, has yet to be given.
