Article 263

After the evidence has been concluded and the address and reply, if any, have been made, the court shall render judgment.

The court shall pronounce judgment either at once or, as soon thereafter as may be practicable, on some future day to be fixed by the court. In the latter case the court shall inform the plaintiff and the defendant of the date when judgment will be pronounced.

The court shall postpone its judgment if both parties request the court to do so.
