A quick definition of interlocutory judgment:
Interlocutory judgment: This is another way of saying interlocutory decree. It means a decision made by a judge during a court case that is not final. This means that the case is still ongoing and there will be more decisions made before the final decision is reached.
A more thorough explanation:
Interlocutory Judgment
An interlocutory judgment is a court decision that is made during the course of a lawsuit, but does not finally determine the case. It is also known as an interlocutory decree.
For example, if a plaintiff in a personal injury case asks the court to order the defendant to produce certain documents, the court may issue an interlocutory judgment granting or denying the request. This decision does not end the case, but rather allows the parties to continue with the lawsuit.
Another example of an interlocutory judgment is when a judge grants a temporary restraining order in a case involving domestic violence. This order is only in effect until a final decision is made in the case.
An interlocutory judgment is a decision made by a court during a lawsuit that does not finally determine the case. It is a temporary decision that allows the parties to continue with the lawsuit. The examples illustrate how an interlocutory judgment can be used in different types of cases, such as personal injury and domestic violence. In both cases, the court makes a temporary decision that does not end the case, but rather allows the parties to continue with the legal process.
