Definition and content of judgment

§ 5011. Definition and content of judgment. A judgment is the\ndetermination of the rights of the parties in an action or special\nproceeding and may be either interlocutory or final. A judgment shall\nrefer to, and state the result of, the verdict or decision, or recite\nthe default upon which it is based. A judgment may direct that property\nbe paid into court when the party would not have the benefit or use or\ncontrol of such property or where special circumstances make it\ndesirable that payment or delivery to the party entitled to it should be\nwithheld. In any case where damages are awarded to an incarcerated\nindividual serving a sentence of imprisonment with the state department\nof corrections and community supervision or to a prisoner confined at a\nlocal correctional facility, the court shall give prompt written notice\nto the office of victim services, and at the same time shall direct that\nno payment be made to such incarcerated individual or prisoner for a\nperiod of thirty days following the date of entry of the order\ncontaining such direction.\n
