Venire facias de novo
Venire facias de novo, a second writ to summon another jury for a new trial.The venire de novo was the Old Common Law method of proceeding to a new trial, and differed materially from granting a new trial, inasmuch as it was awarded from some defect appearing upon the face of the record, while a new trial was granted for matter entirely extrinsic. Where a verdict could have been amended, a venire de novo was never awarded. If awarded, the party succeeding at the second trial was not entitled to the costs of the first. It has since been superseded by a trial de novo. The Court of Criminal Appeal can order a writ of venire de novo to issue, R. v. Crane, (1921) 2 AC 299, and R. v. Dennis, 40 TLR 420.

Goods
Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...
