    Solution

    Section 34(1) defines "Judgment" as "the statement in open court of the decision of the court on the matter at issue." It is distinguished from "Decree" (Section 2(2)), which is the formal expression of adjudication. A judgment precedes a decree; the judgment decides the matter, and the decree formalizes the adjudication for execution purposes. [Citation: Sections 2(2), 34, Code of Civil Procedure, 1908]
