两者之间的差别在于adjudicative fact (争议事实，诉争事实）是指诉讼，尤其是行政裁决程序中与当事人具体相关的事实，如个人动机、故意等，其为个案属性[1]。

而legislative fact (立法事实）则泛指与案件具体当事人的个人问题无关，即不属于个案性质而属于法律规定的具有一般属性的社会、经济、科 技等的事实问题，

其只在帮助法定或行政机关决定该立法的内容及适用范畴[2]。

 

[1 ] “ Factual matters concerning the parties to an administrative proceeding as contrasted with legislative facts which are general and usually 

do not touch individual questions of particular parties to a proceeding. ” Cf. The Publisher’s Editorial Staff, Black’s Law Dictionary (with 

Pronunciations)，abridged 6th edition, at p. 26，West Publishing Co. (1991).

[2] “A fact that explains a particular law's rationaiity and that helps a court or agency determine the law's content and application. ” Cf.
