délibérée

Délibérée is a French term that translates to "deliberate" or "decided" in English. It is often used in legal contexts, particularly in French civil law systems, to refer to a judgment or ruling made by a court. When a court has délibérée, it means that the judges have considered the evidence and arguments presented by the parties and have come to a decision. This decision is then rendered in a formal judgment, which is publicly announced.

The process leading up to délibérée can involve several stages, including the submission of briefs, oral arguments, and sometimes the taking of further evidence. Once the hearing is concluded, the judges will withdraw to deliberate in private. This private discussion allows them to weigh the merits of the case and reach a consensus. The délibérée is a crucial part of the judicial process, ensuring that decisions are made thoughtfully and with careful consideration of the law and the facts.

The term can also be used more broadly in French to describe any considered or intentional action. For instance, a deliberate mistake would be a "faute délibérée." However, its most common and specific usage relates to the judicial process and the formal conclusion of a legal case. The final judgment is the outward manifestation of the court's délibérée.
