What does FACTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A written statement of the facts of a legal case, especially one prepared for an appeal.

Where an ordinary brief argues a case, a facta lays out the agreed and disputed points for the judges to work from. The singular factum is rarer in everyday use than the plural facta.
