The Court of Appeal held that it has no jurisdiction to reopen or make further orders after its judgment has been perfected, sealed and filed unless the earlier judgment is demonstrated to be final or set aside; parties' consent cannot confer jurisdiction where none exists, and because the parties would not contend that the earlier decision was final the consent summons was not pursued and the court would not sanction the proposed course.
