  Judicial Supplement 40 - The Prosecutor v. Momcilo Krajisnik - Case No. IT-00-39-PT
Legal consequences of Rule 94(B): the procedural legal impact of taking judicial notice of an adjudicated fact is not that the fact cannot be challenged or refuted at trial, but rather that the burden of proof to disqualify the fact is shifted to the disputing party.
The Trial Chamber stated that Rule 94 “is for the purpose of achieving judicial economy in the sense that it condenses the relevant proceedings to what is essential for the case of each party without rehearing supplementary allegations already proven in past proceedings and thereby shortens the duration of the trial”.
In other words, the Trial Chamber held that “the procedural legal impact of taking judicial notice of an adjudicated fact is not that the fact cannot be challenged or refuted at trial, but rather that the burden of proof to disqualify the fact is shifted to the disputing party”.

  Judicial economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judicial economy most commonly refers to the refusal of a court to decide one or more claims raised in a case, on the grounds that it has decided other claims in the case and that its decision on those claims should satisfy the parties.
Having found for the plaintiff for a violation of the first law, the court then has the discretion to exercise judicial economy and refuse to make a decision on the remaining two claims, on the grounds that the finding of one violation should be sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff.
Class action lawsuits are another example of judicial economy in action, as they are often tried as a single case, yet involve many cases with similar facts.

The practice of judicial economy, which was first employed by a number of GATT panels, allows a panel to refrain from making multiple findings that the same measure is inconsistent with various provisions when a single, or a certain number of findings of inconsistency, would suffice to resolve the dispute.
Although the doctrine of judicial economy allows a panel to refrain from addressing claims beyond those necessary to resolve the dispute, it does not compel a panel to exercise such restraint.
Therefore, we are not persuaded that the Panel’s exercise of judicial economy was improper, as Brazil has not demonstrated that it has led to “a partial resolution of the matter”.

Judicial oversight of policy is the authority of courts to check the legality of policy measures and annul measures which are incompatible with the constitution or are enacted without following the procedures laid down by the law.
