judgement
Court's final ruling
Judgement is a British spelling of judgment—the act of judging or the conclusion reached.
A court delivers a judgement.
You exercise judgement when making decisions.
Someone with good judgement consistently makes sound choices; poor judgement leads to mistakes.
I'll trust your judgement on this.
The spelling without the e is standard in American English and legal contexts.
