The Judgement After the trial, the Court may immediately enter judgement or take the matter under advisement and later mail a written judgement to the parties. The judgement will also be entered into the Court record. The Court will also order the losing party to pay the Court costs (filing fees) of the party who wins a monetary judgement. Interest on a judgement is set by law at 8% and will begin to accrue from the date of the judgement. When partial payments are made toward a judgement, they are applied first to any accrued interest and then to the judgement amount.
