Adjudicatory Facts, Legislative Facts, and Agency Expertise

In administrative adjudication, **adjudicatory facts** are specific details relevant to a case, like what happened and who was involved. **Legislative facts**, on the other hand, are broader truths that inform policy decisions, such as general trends or statistics about a subject. **Agency expertise** refers to the specialized knowledge and experience that regulatory agencies possess, enabling them to interpret laws and regulations effectively. Together, these elements help agencies make informed decisions that balance individual cases with the larger context of public policy.
