Illinois Stipulation of Facts is a legal document used as an agreement between two parties in a court case. It outlines important facts that both parties agree to, such as the facts of the case, the issues to be decided, and the evidence to be presented. This document allows both parties to limit the scope of the case to those facts they both agree upon, eliminating the need for additional hearings and evidence. Common types of Illinois Stipulations of Facts include: Joint Stipulation of Facts, Consent Decree, and Admissions of Fact. A Joint Stipulation of Facts is used when both parties agree to the facts of the case, allowing for a streamlined trial process. A Consent Decree is used when the parties reach a settlement agreement and agree to the facts of the case. Lastly, an Admission of Fact is used when one party agrees to the facts of the case without admitting to any liability or wrongdoing.
