Article 266

The judgment shall contain:

the names and the domicile of the parties and the names of their agents or pleaders;

the number of the suit;

the conclusion of the pleadings of the parties;

the issues to be decided, the decision of the court and the reasons for the decision, including the facts on which the judgment is based;

the relief to which the parties are entitled or obliged and the amount of costs incurred in the suit and by whom, or out of what property such costs are to be paid;

where the judgment can be executed by the personal obedience of the judgment-debtor, the time within which it shall be executed;

such particulars as are necessary to determine execution. An Appellate Court may itself give the necessary directions for the execution of its judgment or may delegate the execution thereof to the court which first heard the case; and

the date of the judgment.

The reasons for the decision shall be expressed sufficiently so as to enable the parties to understand the basis of the decision, as well as, in case the decision is subject to appeal, for review by a higher court.

A court of first instance may not give judgment on any matter not specifically raised by the parties, but an Appellate Court may pass any judgment or make any order which ought to have been passed or made, and may pass or make such further or other decree or order as the case may require.

The judgment shall express a clear order to do or to abstain from doing something or to pay a definite sum of money or to deliver a particular thing or to surrender or restore immovable property, as the case be.
