The court emphasized that the act of the court should not prejudice any party and that errors resulting from the court's own actions must be rectified. The court affirmed the principle that where a court fails to adhere to mandatory provisions regarding the drafting of decrees, it must take corrective measures to ensure that the rights of the parties are upheld.
