French term

qualification des faits

French to English Law/Patents Law (general)
"QUALIFICATION DES FAITS" is a heading in a document making a case against a manufacturer for price-fixing. For this type of thing I know I've seen simply "THE FACTS," but what is the usual phrasing?

qualify: To limit or modify in some way

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law 1996

If you use only 'facts', what you have is a list of facts as presented by one party or another. The court "qualifies' those same facts, i.e. interpets them either in the same way they were presented or modifies them by limiting their relevance or the scope they were given in the allegations.

Depends how your text goes on. I suspect with a legal pigeonholing or compartmentalisation of the dastardly facts.
