A quick definition of consideratum est per curiam:
Consideratum est per curiam: This is a Latin phrase that means "it is considered by the court." It was used in common-law courts as formal language before the judgment was given. Sometimes it is shortened to "consideratum est." A judgment is the decision or sentence of the law given by a court of justice to redress an injury. The language of the judgment is not "it is decreed" or "resolved" by the court, but "it is considered by the court" that the plaintiff should recover their debt.
