Judgement error

Posted on August 20, 2008, 8:00 am, by Craig Silverman, under Online.

A story published Aug. 7 about a class-action lawsuit against Selwyn House originally said Quebec Judge Pierre Gagnon recommended raising a cap on a proposed compensation package to $20 million from $5 million. Gagnon did not make that recommendation in his judgment. The CBC regrets the inaccuracy. Link

    Not to quibble (but I will anyway): Shouldn’t “Judgement error” be “Judgment error”?

    Regrettheerror.ca strikes again.

    You and I make ‘judgements’, whilst the Courts still insist on making ‘Judgments’. Or that’s how it is in Britain anyway; I guess Canada’s the same.

    Hence, outside of the US, CBC’s error was one in their judgement.

    Phew! :)

    “Judgment” is perfectly good Canadian English. According to my dictionary of Canadian English, “judgement” is acceptable but not preferred.
