judgment

Primary tabs

Judgment means the final decision made by a court or tribunal. After the judges consider all the relevant evidence of the legal trial and consider all rights and obligations, the plaintiff and defendant will receive the final ruling. This judgment could end the potential or existing dispute among the dispute parties by listing which side was ruled in favor of, and listing what remedies are to be awarded. According to U.S.C.ยง636(c)(3), each party could appeal directly to the court of appeal(s) against the existing judgment.
