wie im Spruch

Law (general)
Divorce decree
The context is a divorce decree. On Page 2, and after stating that the marriage had irrevocably broken down, etc., comes this statement:
"Da die formellen und materiellen Voraussetzungen der einvernehmlich beantragten Ehescheidung nach (law and section numbers) erfüllt sind, war wie im Spruch zu entscheiden.
My translation so far is:
"Since the formal and material conditions of the divorce by mutual consent have been fulfilled in accordance with § 55a EheG (Marriage Law), it has been decided as per the ruling."
I have come up with the "as per the ruling" bit after "googling" around, but it sounds a bit nonsensical.
Any thoughts and help appreciated, either to confirm that this is alright or to suggest an improvement!
Thanks,
Anne

operative part of this judgment
From an Austrian judgment: Es war wie im Spruch zu entscheiden. My translation: The case was decided as in the operative part of this judgment.
Judgments are divided into named sections, for instance in Germany Tenor means the operative part – Spruch is the Austrian equivalent. These words are printed in the judgment, but they are used in referring to it, and Austrian judgments happen to use it in this way.

I tend to agree Margaret Marks when she says: Personally, I don’t think that adds any shade of meaning to the more usual English It was decided.
