A court may, after the hearing of an action, grant—
(a) |
judgment for the plaintiff in respect of his claim in so far as he has proved it; |
(b) |
judgment for the defendant in respect of his defence or counterclaim in so far as he has proved it; |
(c) |
absolution from the instance, if the court is of the opinion that the evidence does not enable it to give judgment for either party; |
(d) |
such judgment as to costs contemplated in section 37 as may be just; |
(e) |
an order, on such conditions as the court may deem fit, against the party for whom judgment has been granted, deferring wholly or in part further proceedings upon the judgment for a specified period pending arrangements by the other party for the satisfaction of the judgment. |
