in a trial, a conclusion of fact which is logically deduced from evidence ("evidentiary
facts"). Example the evidentiary facts were that driver Larry Leadfoot a) exceeded
the speed limit, b) drove over the double-line, c) skidded and lost control of his
car; the ultimate fact was, therefore, Leadfoot was negligent. It is essential to
introduce the evidentiary facts during the trial in order to prove the ultimate
fact. A mere statement by a witness that "Leadfoot was negligent" is not sufficient,
since it is an opinion of the witness and is not evidence.
