297: Decisions of court to be in writing
or “The Environment Court must write down its decisions and sign them to make them official.”
You could also call this:

“The court's seal makes documents official and believable in court”

The Environment Court has a special seal. When this seal is put on a document, it means the document is officially recognised by the court. You can trust that these documents are real and important. The court will keep using this seal to make documents official.
