Abstract
Since the two operations overlap each other so much, speaking about fact and interpretation in legal science separately would undoubtedly be highly artificial. To speak about fact in law already brings in the operation we call interpretation. Equally, to speak about interpretation is to deal with the method of identifying reality and therefore, in large part, to enter the area of the question of fact. By way of example, Bernard Jackson’s text, which we have placed in section II of the first part of this volume, could no doubt just as well have found a home in section I.
