CASE AGREED ON
An action in which the parties submit a formal
written enumeration of facts that they both accept
as correct and complete so that a judge can render
a decision based upon conclusions of law that can
be drawn from the stated facts.
The parties must agree on all material facts
upon which their rights are to be determined.
They do not, however, agree upon the legal
effects of those facts; therefore, the action pres-
ents a JUSTICIABLE controversy, which makes it
a matter for judicial determination. The need for a jury trial is obviated because there are no
QUESTIONS OF FACT presented for resolution.
A case agreed on is also known as an amicable
action, a case stated, or a friendly suit.
