Fact Situation
FACT SITUATION
A concise description of all the occurrences or circumstances of a particular case, without any discussion of their consequences under the law. The fact situation, sometimes referred to as a fact pattern, is a summary of what took place in a casefor which relief is sought. The fact situation of one case is almost always distinguishable from that of another case.
When one case with a particular fact situation has been decided, an attorney may use it as precedent and relate it to another similar case on which he or she is currently working.
