Rule 67 Judgments
Rule Text
A Definitions.
A(1) “Judgment” as used in these rules means the concluding and final decision of the court on one or more requests for relief in one or more actions, in the form provided for in TCR 70.⁶
A(2) “General judgment” means the judgment entered by the court that decides all requests for relief in the action except (a) a request for relief previously decided by a limited judgment; and (b) a request for relief that may be decided by a supplemental judgment.
A(3) “Limited judgment” has the meaning given in TCR 67 B.
A(4) “Supplemental judgment” means a judgment that may be rendered after a general judgment pursuant to a legal authority and includes a supplemental judgment on attorney fees and costs and disbursements under TCR 68(c)(5).
A(5) “Order” means any other determination by the judge that is intermediate in nature.
B Judgment for Less Than All Claims or Parties in Action (Limited Judgment). When more than one claim for relief is presented in an action, whether as a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third party claim, or when multiple parties are involved, the court may render a limited judgment as to one or more but fewer than all of the claims or parties. The judge may render a limited judgment under this section only if the judge determines that there is no just reason for delay.
C Relief Granted. Every judgment shall grant the relief to which the party in whose favor it is rendered is entitled, even if such relief has not been demanded in the pleadings, except a judgment by default will not be different in kind from or exceed the amount prayed for in the demand for judgment. However, a default judgment granting equitable remedies may differ in kind from or exceed in amount that prayed for in the demand for judgment, provided that reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard are given to any party against whom the judgment is to be entered.

F Judgment by Stipulation.
F(1) Availability of Judgment by Stipulation. At any time after commencement of an action, a judgment may be given upon stipulation that a judgment for a specified amount or for a specific relief may be entered. The stipulation shall be by the party or parties against whom judgment is to be entered and the party or parties in whose favor judgment is to be entered. If the stipulation provides for attorney fees, costs, and disbursements, they may be entered as part of the judgment according to the stipulation.
F(2) Form of Judgment by Stipulation; Assent in Open Court. The stipulation for judgment may be in a writing signed by the parties, their attorneys, or their authorized representatives. That writing shall be filed in accordance with TCR 9. If not in writing, the stipulation shall be assented to by all parties thereto in open court. The parties shall prepare, sign, and file with the court a proposed form of judgment that incorporates or appends their stipulation. See TCR 70.
F(3) For rules governing a judgment following a stipulation of dismissal, see TCR 54 A(1) and TCR 70 A(1)(e).
G Judgment on Portion of Claim Exceeding Counterclaim. The court may direct entry of a limited judgment as to that portion of any claim that exceeds a counterclaim asserted by the party or parties against whom the judgment is entered, if the party or parties have admitted the claim and asserted a counterclaim amounting to less than the claim.
