After a judgment has been entered, can the judge amend or amend it?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Klassen (Re), 1940 CanLII 155 (SK QB):
After judgment has been entered the Judge has no power to amend or alter it except of course as to clerical mistakes or accidental slips and omissions. Drake, J. in the case of Guilbault v. Brothier (1904) 10 B.C.R. 449, is reported at p. 460: “I think it has been decided over and over again that judgments when once entered are final, and can only be corrected by appeal.”
