court ruling
The official and legally binding decision of a court at the end of a trial.
Laut Gerichtsurteil muss der Angeklagte eine hohe Geldstrafe zahlen.
According to the court ruling, the defendant must pay a large fine.
The word is a compound of 'das Gericht' (in the sense of 'court') and 'das Urteil' (judgment, verdict). The 's' in the middle is a linking s that connects the two words.
Das Gerichtsurteil wurde von allen erwartet.
The court ruling was expected by everyone.
In legal language, a court ruling is 'gefällt' (handed down) or 'verkündet' (announced) by a judge. If a party does not agree, they can 'anfechten' (challenge) the ruling.
Der Richter wird das Gerichtsurteil morgen Vormittag fällen.
The judge will hand down the court ruling tomorrow morning.
To report the content of the ruling, the phrases 'Laut Gerichtsurteil...' (According to the court ruling...) or 'Gemäß dem Gerichtsurteil...' (In accordance with the court ruling...) are often used at the beginning of the sentence. The conjugated verb follows.
Laut Gerichtsurteil ist der Vertrag ungültig.
According to the court ruling, the contract is invalid.
resolution / decision
Both words can refer to an official decision by a court. Beschluss generally refers to a court decision made during the proceedings, while Gerichtsurteil refers to the legally binding decision at the end of a trial. Gerichtsurteil is therefore more appropriate for the conclusion of a trial.
Nach mehreren Verhandlungstagen verkündete das Gericht das Gerichtsurteil.
After several days of hearings, the court announced its ruling.
Mit einem Beschluss erlaubte das Gericht dem Kind, vorläufig bei seiner Mutter zu bleiben.
In a court order, the court allowed the child to stay temporarily with the mother.
