What is a case by case adjudication?
Answer:
adjudication
n. the act of giving a judicial ruling such as a judgment or decree. The term is used particularly in bankruptcy proceedings, in which the order declaring a debtor bankrupt is called an adjudication.
"summary adjudication" for instance would mean a judge has ruled on some or all of the issues, often based on one hearing and/or pleadings and evidence submitted. It does not mean the case is over, most adjudications can be appealed. I disagree with the definition above, however, the word "judgment" is more often used. A case is not "ripe" or ready for appeal until it has been adjudicated, meaning you have a lower court judgment.
