  Question of fact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In law, a question of fact (also known as a point of fact) is a question which must be answered by reference to facts and evidence, and inferences arising from those facts.
Depending on the nature of the matter, the standard of proof may require that a fact be proved to be "more likely than not", that is there is barely more evidence for the fact than against, as established by a preponderance of the evidence; or true beyond reasonable doubt.
Rather, the findings of fact of the first venue are usually given great deference by appellate courts.

 Factfinding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Although most parties turn to fact finding after mediation has failed to resolve all the issues, using mediation is not a prerequisite to fact finding.
Fact finders typically will require a statement of the issues and positions of the parties prior to the beginning of the fact-finding hearing.
It may contain statements, facts, precedents, or other pertinent evidence that support that party's position on the issues that party considers to be still in dispute.

Fact Finding is the use of an impartial expert (or group) selected by the parties, by the agency, or by an individual with the authority to appoint a fact finder, in order to determine what the "facts" are in a dispute.

 Online NewsHour: Microsoft Finding of Fact -- November 5, 1999
One reason for this is the fact that no single type of information appliance, nor even all types in the aggregate, provides all of the features that most consumers have come to rely on in their PC systems and in the applications that run on them.
The fact that a vastly larger number of applications are written for Windows than for other PC operating systems attracts consumers to Windows, because it reassures them that their interests will be met as long as they use Microsoft's product.
In fact, although the discussions ended before Microsoft was compelled to demarcate precisely where the boundary between its platform and Netscape's applications would lie, it is unclear whether Netscape's acceptance of Microsoft's proposal would have left the firm with even the ability to survive as an independent business.

In fact my district pays one of the lowest amounts per employee for health care and as a result our actual compensation package, when you include health care, is one of the worst.
Additionally, the district changed a several other elements of the contract in the “best, last, and final offer.” These items were added to this offer because after the non-binding fact finding decision is made, the district can (and probably will) impose their contract.
In fact, I think one of them is working exclusively with us (the other one works with three other unions).

The Fact Finding Commission receives periodic reports from leaders of the U.S. Secret War veteran groups still hiding in the mountains of Laos.
The Hmong were recruited by the CIA to fight on behalf of a pro-American government during the Vietnam War, only to find themselves all but abandoned after their communist enemies, the Pathet Lao, won a long civil war in 1975.
Regardless of journalist's reports of Laotian communist soldiers raping, torturing, disemboweling and killing the children of Lao veterans and their families still hiding in the jungle, the U.S. government refuses to acknowledge the genocide.

You would think, while two BBC reporters are in Lebanon, that one or other could find the time to do a bit of research and discover what is happening.
I don't see any mention of the fact that the Holy See stands with Israel in defending its sovereign borders and independence when terrorists cross the border to attack Israeli soldiers and then kidnap two of them to haul back to Lebanon.
In fact, the right of a state to defend itself does not exempt it from respecting the norms of international law, especially in those matters concerning the protection of the civilian population.

 Judge Allows Fact-Finding in Cheney Energy Case
But the lawsuit U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan refused to dismiss goes beyond demands for information on connections to Enron, which imploded last year amid revelations about losses from off-the-books partnerships.
Filed by Judicial Watch, a public interest law firm, and later joined by the environmental group the Sierra Club, the lawsuit seeks all records of the Cheney task force in an effort to find out what influence other energy companies -- as well as Enron and its former chief Kenneth Lay -- had on policy.
Justice Department lawyers, arguing the case for the White House, told Sullivan that divulging the task force records would upset White House confidentiality.

Speeches by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney earlier this week were timed to pre-empt and cast doubt on a 9/11 commission finding released on Wednesday that there is “no credible evidence that Iraq and Al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States.”
Jerry Phillabaum, commander of her MP battalion.   Phillabaum wrote that Girman got it into her head that the rapist might be among the prisoners she was guarding, and decided to exact what he termed “vigilante justice.”
The inference from the disclosures of the past few weeks that the Bush administration apparently paged through the telephone books to find lawyers willing to justify torture and abuse is outrageous enough.  It is equally sobering to reflect on the fact that meretricious rhetoric from our highest officials can produce the same effect.
