Rule 52(c). Judgment on Partial Findings

    If during a trial without a jury a party has been fully heard on an issue and the court after determining the facts finds against the party on that issue, the court may enter judgment as a matter of law against that party with respect to a claim or defense that cannot under the controlling law be maintained or defeated without a favorable finding on that issue, or the court may decline to render any judgment until the close of all the evidence. Such a judgment shall be supported by findings of fact and conclusions of law if requested as required by subdivision (a) of this rule.
