agree Fabian Stoffers : I thin the Swiss "Dispositiv" is the equivalent to the German "Tenor".

disagree Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M. : The "operative part" means nothing to me. I believe that's what an "abstract of judgment" is for. See below.

abstract of judgment

plenty of google hits

Suggests that the record itself in this divorce proceeding is sealed--a common practice--and thus that only an abstract of judgment will be filed with the Marriage Bureau.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Fabian Stoffers : It is not an abstract, but the operative provisions of the judgement. The reasons for the decision are none of the Marriage Bureau's business.

Tell it to the California legislature. That's why it's an abstract.
