mixed question of law and fact
- mixed question of law and fact
-
In loose usage, a question, the determination of which involves both law and fact.
There is really no such thing. What is sometimes so misnamed is a question which depends for its solution upon a question or questions of law and a question or questions of fact; but every such complicated proposition, when analyzed, is resolved into its elements of well-defined questions either of law or of fact, to be decided either by the judge or by the jury. State v Hayes, 162 La 917, 923, 111 So 327.
