Utah Stipulated Facts is a type of evidence used in Utah courtrooms. It is a written agreement between the opposing parties that lists specific facts that are true and undisputed for the case. These facts are signed by both parties and their attorneys and are then entered into the court record. The facts can be in the form of a stipulation (an agreed-upon statement of facts) or a statement of uncontested facts. The purpose of stipulated facts is to streamline the court proceedings by removing the need for a lengthy trial to resolve disputed facts. This helps reduce the costs and time associated with a trial. Stipulated facts also help the judge to better understand the case and make a more informed decision. The most common types of stipulated facts are admissions, testimony, documents, and agreements. Admissions refer to a party’s admission of a particular fact, such as an admission that a contract was signed or that a particular event happened. Testimony refers to the statements made by witnesses or experts during trial. Documents refer to any documents presented during trial. Agreements refer to any agreements between the parties, such as a settlement agreement or a plea agreement.
