Unfortunately, depending on the County and the Judge this is standard procedure. It can be frustrating at times. I agree though, you can request an audio cd of the reasons set forth on the record with the clerk for $10. That is typically what I do when this happens. All you need to do is tell them the date, the Judge and the docket number. Good luck.

Colleagues,
Generally, when I file a motion, I end up with an Order with a statement of reasons attached. Perhaps this is only provided when the Court rules "on the papers." This particular motion was heard at 10:00am but the Judge advised she would issue the ruling on the record in the afternoon, at 2:30. Neither my client nor I were able to be there at 2:30 so I picked up the Order this morning. There is no statement of reasons. I called chambers and was told I have to order the transcript. Lovely. Is this standard operating procedure?
Thanks.
