On the question of material facts, the facts in issue and evidentiary facts, the following excerpts from ‘Justice Courts and Delays’ (Chapter 6 Topic 4 at page 453 –
paras 14 and 15) are relevant:- 14 The word ‘fact’ has been used in law of evidence,
to mean and include the factum probandum or the principal fact to be proved and the factum probans or the evidentiary fact from which the principal fact
follows immediately or by inference. Put differently, ‘Facts’ may be either ‘facts-in-issue’ which are the principal matters in dispute or merely ‘relevant facts’
which are evidentiary in nature and purpose, and therefore, directly or by inference, prove or disprove the ‘facts-in-issue’.
15. Broadly stated, in current use there are three categories of Facts:
Material facts May or may not be in dispute, but are necessary to be averred
so as to make the suit maintainable.
Facts-in-issue Arise from Pleadings (and also from the
contents of a document, answers to interrogatories, statement before issues
etc), but do not, repeat not, include such of the material facts which are
not in dispute.
Evidentiary facts Such facts as are
The first, ‘Material facts’ are necessary to be stated inorder to constitute a cause of action for a claim, or form the basis of a defence. The Second, or the factum probandum or the facts-in-issue, are the principal matters in dispute and are the facts to be proved. The third – factum probans – are evidentiary facts, which directly or by inference, prove or disprove the facts-inissue (factum probandum).
