I'd become aware of that, yes - it's funny how we get so hung up on the correct English English version rather than the nominally wrong American-English version, when they used to be one and the same. Still, WE'RE RIGHT AND THEY'RE WRONG.

Anyway, bar perhaps legal documentation, 'judgement' is a perfectly acceptable British English spelling, and it's down to individual publication style guides whether it gets amended or not.
This used to make me wonder whether there was actually a different meaning for the different spellings - whether a "judgment" meant a "legal" judgment, and "judgement" meant every other sort...
