==Overview==
Parts of the Factum
* PART I (The Applicant and the Respondent)
* PART II (Nature of the Case & Issues)
* PART III (Summary of the Facts Relevant to the Issues)
* PART IV (Statement of each issue raised, with argument)
* PART V – ORDER SOUGHT
Factums are written slightly differently depending on whether or not the factum is being written for an appeal or for a standard application.
It is important to know that factums rely on sworn evidence that is either already on the record or is based on a sworn affidavit of a party.
==How to start==
When writing a factum the first thing you need to do is have a summary version of your timeline of events. Not the full timeline but a shortened version, this will help give structure to your writing process.
