A legal judgment is a formal decision made by a court regarding the rights and obligations of the parties involved in a legal dispute. It typically follows a trial or hearing, where evidence and arguments are presented. The judgment outlines the court's findings and the legal reasoning behind its decision, which can include orders for compensation or specific actions. Judgments can be appealed to higher courts if one party believes there was an error in the legal process. Once finalized, a judgment can be enforced, meaning that the winning party can take steps to ensure compliance, such as collecting damages or enforcing court orders.
