A formal court decision that determines the rights and liabilities of the parties after a dispute.

• A. Judgement
• B. Verdict
• C. Decree
• D. Order

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding how courts finalize disputes. A judgment is the formal decision issued by the court that determines the rights and liabilities of the parties after a dispute. It is the official final resolution that specifies what each party must do or pay. A verdict, by contrast, is the jury’s determination on the facts of the case—whether the party is liable or guilty—while the judgment is the court’s formal expression of the outcome based on those findings. A decree is a court order often used in equity cases to grant specific relief, and an order is a directive that may be procedural or involve actions the parties must take, but it doesn’t always settle all rights and obligations in the dispute.
