These documents included the orders he issued in adjudicating cases brought before him. As <jats:italic>intendant</jats:italic>, he had at his disposal the files of the proceedings in which he had had to reach a decision in his quasi-judicial capacity. Judgements rendered in previous cases could help him to solve new cases. As these precedents were documented in his records, he was able to develop a case law in particular areas, such as tax litigation.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
