Question juridique clé
Whether the separate order fixing the party indemnity was valid despite the missing judicial signature on the copy served to the party.
Solution extraite
No. The served order did not comply with the statutory form requirements for written decisions and was invalid in that form.
Motifs extraits
A decision fixing compensation after an acquittal forms part of the judgment. Written decisions, other than simple procedural orders, must be signed by the presiding judge and the clerk; signature is a validity requirement. The copy served lacked the required signatures.
