judgements
Conclusions after consideration
Judgements is the British spelling of judgments, the plural of judgment.
A judgment is a decision or opinion formed after consideration: The court's judgements were widely criticized.
It also refers to the capacity for making sound decisions: She showed poor judgement in her choice of partners.
Both spellings are correct, though judgment dominates in American English and legal contexts.
