34. Judgment

 

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.
