What is the procedure if a written decision is filed with the clerk?

When a written decision is filed with the clerk, the correct procedure involves sending a copy of that decision to the solicitors involved in the case. This is an important step to ensure that all legal representatives are informed of the court's ruling, allowing them to advise their clients accordingly and prepare for any further legal actions or implications stemming from the decision. Proper communication amongst solicitors maintains transparency within the legal process and upholds the principle of fairness by ensuring that all parties have access to the relevant court documents.

The option stating that the decision cannot be amended is misleading because while a written decision can be finalized, it may still be subject to appeal or other post-decision actions. Sending a copy only to the defendant would neglect the roles of solicitors who need to be notified of the decision to effectively represent their clients. Archiving the decision indefinitely without any further action does not adhere to the procedural requirements in a legal context, as further actions such as appeals may arise from filed decisions.
