Czech term

výrok

Czech to English Law/Patents Law (general)
The word is used in judgements, in the reasoning section, to refer to the short formulation at the top of the judgement. Is dictum any good? Better ideas, anyone? Many thanks.

verdict

I believe it stands for a verdict in criminal cases.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdict#Criminal_law
"In law, a verdict is the formal finding of fact made by a jury on matters or questions submitted to the jury by a judge.[1] The term, from the Latin veredictum, literally means "to say the truth" and is derived from Middle English verdit, from Anglo-Norman: a compound of ver ("true," from the Latin vērus) and dit ("speech," from the Latin dictum, the neuter past participle of dīcere, to say)."

You could break it down into "findings" then I would have thought
Note from asker:
Charles, operative part could work nicely for výroková část, the problem is this sometimes consists several výrok’ses.
This just won’t do. In a criminal judgement, individual výroks typically comprise a verdict and a sentence or order. To call that a finding would be strange.
Thanks, though!

Thanks Stuart
agree Viliam Schichman : Alternatively: the operative part of the judgment (instead of decision) ... and its findigs ... 1, 2, 3

thanks
agree Zdeněk Hartmann : With vili_007. I think the "operative part of the judgment" is used in the segmentation of ECJ rulings at Eur-lex.
