Iamque opus exegi, Deo gratias

I have been working for a few days on the biggest judgment to ever come my way - The (never-ending) Bell Group case, for those of you in the Finance world. It’s 9,762 paragraphs (850 pages of small typesetting). I finally got to the end, and this is how Judge Owen, of the Western Australia Supreme Court, ends:

For the moment, in the words of Ovid (with an embellishment from the old Latin

Mass): Iamque opus exegi, Deo gratius.

(And now I have finished the work, thanks be to God.) Amen to that. And if I ever actually finish Bleak House, that never-ending book about another never-ending court case, I'll say it then too.
