463. A judge who has taken a case under advisement may, even of his own motion, by a judgment giving reasons, order the reopening of the hearing, for such purposes and upon such conditions as he may determine. The clerk must forthwith communicate such judgment to the chief justice and to the attorneys of the parties.
Any other order preventing judgment from being rendered must also give the reasons therefor and be communicated to the same persons.
