from
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
CONSIDERATUM EST per curiam. It is considered by the court. This formula is
used in giving judgments. A judgment is the decision or sentence of the law,
given by a court of justice, as the result of proceedings instituted
therein, for the redress of an injury. The language of the judgment is not,
therefore, that "it is decreed," or "resolved," by the court; but that "it
is considered by the court," consideratum est per curiam, that the plaintiff
recover his debt, &c. 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 3298.
