The standard spelling in the UK legal context ('the court handed down a judgment'). In normal use 'judgement' is more common, though not hugely so. This is also true of Australia. In US and South African usage, 'judgment' is considerably though not overwhelmingly more common. Surprisingly, perhaps, the style guides of both the Guardian and The Times recommend 'judgment'. Perhaps they consider it's not worth maintaining a distinction between a court judgment and a person's judgement.
