Common questions of law or fact

Questions of law or fact are key issues that courts decide in a case. A question of fact asks whether something actually happened or the truth of evidence presented—like who was at the scene of an incident. A question of law involves how the law applies to the facts—such as whether a contract was legally valid. The judge typically decides questions of law, while a jury decides questions of fact. Clarifying these helps determine the outcome of a case accurately and fairly.
