court judgments
Verdicts from bench
Court judgments are official decisions issued by a court of law, resolving disputes and determining legal rights, obligations, or penalties.
A judgment may order payment of damages, grant an injunction, or declare a party guilty or liable.
Once rendered, judgments become enforceable: The court judgment required him to pay $50,000 in restitution.
Judgments can be appealed to higher courts.
