Legal Terms & Definitions

In the booklet, a "judgment" is:

A

A written promise to pay money only

B

A decree of a court declaring one person indebted to another and fixing the amount

C

A statement by a subscribing witness

D

A sworn certificate of official character

Correct Answer

B. A decree of a court declaring one person indebted to another and fixing the amount

Detailed Explanation

Judgment is a court result, not a notarial form. In the booklet's "Definitions and General Terms," judgment is defined as a decree of a court declaring that one individual is indebted to another and fixing the amount of the indebtedness. For contrast, a lien is a claim upon property, not the judicial declaration itself.
