Supreme Court of Canada37 Judges are required to give reasons for their decisions. These reasons may be contained in a written judgement of the court or may be given orally in court. Sometimes judges may do both – giving their decision orally in court with written reasons for the decision following at a later date.38 These judgments or orders are binding on the parties. The Queen’s Bench Rules, Part 10: Judgments and Orders at section 10-22 states: 10-22 Every order of the Court in any cause or matter may be enforced against all persons bound by the order in the same manner as a judgement to the same effect. The Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan consists of a Chief Justice, an Associate Chief Justice, and currently 3639 other judges. Each King’s Bench judge is assigned to a specific judicial centre, but because the Court is an itinerant40 court, the judges also travel to and sit in other judicial centres.41 In Saskatchewan, there are court locations in: • Battleford • Estevan • La Ronge • Meadow Lake • Melfort • Moose Jaw • Prince Albert • Regina • Saskatoon 37 Courts of Saskatchewan, Resources, Court Structure.
