NRS-13471 | Judgment rolls [Civil Jurisdiction, Supreme Court of New South Wales]

For each judgment handed down by the Court, a judgment roll, engrossed on parchment by the party receiving judgment was filed by the Chief Clerk as an official record of the Court. In this judgment roll was to: ... be set forth, in compendious manner, the substantial parts of the proceedings; ie, the style of the Court, the Term and time of signing Judgment, the names of the parties, and their respective Attorneys, the nature of the action, the material parts of the Pleadings, and the Judgment of the Court.From 1855 these rolls were discontinued, by virtue of the Common Law Procedure Act of 1853, Section 158, which stated that:It shall not be necessary before issuing execution upon any judgment under the authority of this act to enter the proceedings upon any roll but an incipitur thereof may be made upon paper shortly describing the nature of the judgment and judgment may thereupon be signed and costs taxed and execution issued. Provided nevertheless that the Proceedings may be entered upon the roll whenever the same may become necessary for the purpose of evidence or of an appeal.Despite the discontinuance of the "Rolls", even after 1854 cases heard in court were filed in a separate series from causes determined out of court. Each roll is accompanied by the relevant case papers filed in court. These may include appearances, subpoenas, summonses, rules of court, motions, attorney's bills of costs, etc.Whenever a case was begun, but was not (for whatever reason) determined in court, the relevant case papers may be found in the series of Process Papers, 1824+.(9/5193-716). 525 boxes.

对于法院作出的每一项判决，受判决方以羊皮纸誊写定稿的判决案卷（judgment roll）均由首席书记员作为法院官方档案归档留存。
该判决案卷需以精简方式载明诉讼程序的核心内容：即案件的正式称谓、判决签署的期日与时间、双方当事人及其代理律师的姓名、诉讼的性质、答辩状（Pleadings）的核心内容，以及法院的判决结果。
1855年起，根据1853年《普通法程序法案》第158条的规定，此类判决案卷不再制作。该条款载明：依据本法案对任一判决签发执行令前，无需将诉讼程序誊录入卷，仅需以纸张制作简要载明判决性质的案首摘要（incipitur）即可，随后即可签署判决、核定诉讼费用并签发执行令。
但如出于证据提交或上诉之需，仍可随时将诉讼程序誊录入卷。
尽管“判决案卷”已停止制作，但1854年后，法院审理的案件仍与庭外审结的案件分属不同归档序列。每份判决案卷均附带法院归档的相关案件文书，包括出庭登记、传票（subpoenas）、传唤令（summonses）、法院规则、动议文件、律师费用账单等。
凡已启动但（因任何原因）未在法院审结的案件，其相关案件文书可归入1824年起的诉讼程序文书（Process Papers）序列中。档案编号：9/5193-716，共计525盒。注：本描述节选自2000年第三版《新南威尔士州档案馆简明指南》（Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales）。
