arrest of judgment 中止判决 在美国，指在民事诉讼中或在刑事诉讼中陪审团作出裁断后，由于出现了某种固有的原因而致使如果法官作出判决将导致该判决错误或可被推翻，法官得自动停止或拒绝作出判决。依《联邦刑事诉讼规则》〔Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure〕，如果起诉书未指控某一罪行或法院对指控的罪行无管辖权，法官依被告人的申请亦可中止判决。在英国，中止判决仅存在于刑事诉讼中，被告人在被定罪后、判刑前，可以起诉书存在缺陷或案卷中存在其它不正当之情形为由申请法官中止判决；法官如认为起诉书并未揭示法律上的某一罪行时，也可主动中止判决。中止判决后应将被告开释；但中止判决并不阻碍重新提出控诉。
