Define: Abstract Of Judgement

In UK Law, an “Abstract of Judgement” typically refers to a summary document that outlines the essential details of a court judgement or order, including the parties involved, the nature of the legal action, the amount of money awarded (if applicable), and any specific terms or conditions imposed by the court. This document serves as an official record of the judgement and is often used for purposes such as enforcing the judgement, recording liens against the judgement debtor’s property, or providing notice to interested parties about the outcome of the legal proceedings. The Abstract of Judgment is filed with the court and may be accessible to the public, facilitating transparency and accountability in the judicial process. It provides a concise overview of the court’s decision, allowing interested parties to understand the key aspects of the judgement without having to review the entire court record.
