§ 1235.130.Judgment

An eminent domain "judgment" isn't a generic term borrowed from ordinary civil litigation -- it has a specific, two-part content under this title. Section 1235.130 defines it as the judgment determining the right to take the property by eminent domain and fixing the compensation the plaintiff must pay for it.

Those two components -- the right-to-take determination and the compensation amount -- are the outputs the whole proceeding builds toward, through the procedures later chapters set out for discovery, trial of the right to take and compensation, and valuation. This definition is what § 1235.120's "final judgment" definition then builds on, once every avenue of attack against this judgment is exhausted.
