Hola,

El texto a continuación es parte de un compendio de sentencias administrativas tributarias:

Esta obra, más que servir para consultas, sirve para analizar la evolución de los fallos del Tribunal hacía una unificación de criterios con respecto a los pronunciamientos de la Corte Suprema de Justicia. No es propósito del compilador señalar su opinión sobre las resoluciones, ni tampoco brindar una guía de cómo se resuelven cada **fáctico**, sino que solamente se busca mostrar el tratamiento oportuno que se han dado en determinados casos. Se recomienda al lector, que sí decide apoyar alguna tesis o criterio sobre un tema contenido en la presente obra, siempre corrobore que la normativa aplicada para cada caso, este vigente.

Haría falta un sustantivo para fáctico?

"fáctico" to English: based on facts, factual

It does mean "factual", based on facts, but in this case I would lean towards "matter-of-fact".

Regards.

factual issue


Explanation:
It refers to the factual issue of a case.

Here's how I would translate that sentence where that word appears, assuming the compilador is the same person who's writing the text:

"It is not this writer's intention to state his/her opinion on the decisions, nor to provide a guide on how each factual issue raised in the cases was resolved, but rather to merely show how certain cases were handled in an appropriate manner."

See the usage of the term in the following links:
https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N09/333/50/PDF... (page 16) --
"The volume of written submissions varies from one case to another, but remains confined to specific legal and/or factual issues."

https://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/cat/docs/A-65-44.pdf (page 176 of the PDF) --
"On the merits, the Committee found that while some factual issues of this case were disputed, including the claims relating to the complainants’ husband’s/father’s political activities, the Committee observed that the most relevant issues raised in this communication relate to the legal effect that should be given to undisputed facts, such as the risk of danger to the complainants’ security upon return."

agree  Toni Castano: I think it refers to "factual cases", actually. The Spanish is very badly worded. It should read: "de cómo se resuelve cada (caso) fáctico". Your opinion on "matter-of-fact" is wrong IMO.
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Toni. Taña and you are right when it comes to "matter of fact" without the hyphens, however I wouldn't personally use that option here. I initially thought of "factual cases," but I think "factual issues raised in..." flows better in the text.

cómo se resuelven cada fáctico > configuración fáctica
how to resolve each /set of/ facts; factual scenario


Explanation:
The nominally plural verb can be resolved this way cf- Fallkonstellation = case scenario in DEU.

'In my Spanish-speaking country (fill in the blank space.....), this would not be ideal grammar or perfect syntax, but we all know what the lawyer was trying to say'.....


Example sentence(s):
  • and the fact that the absent agreement tribunal has no power to consolidate arbitrations arising from the same set of factsand the fact that the absent agreement tribunal has no power to consolidate arbitrations arising from the same set of facts.

agree  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: Yes, "factual scenario" is a good one. Would definitely work for the text at hand.
24 mins
  -> Thanks and gracias! Looking at my first suggestion, I venture that a back-translation technique of a set of facts into Spanish would feasibly sit on a singular / plural fence, as here.

agree  AllegroTrans

  -> Thank you. Stay safe.

agree  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: "Matter-of-fact" is an adjective, such as in "matter-of-fact account" or "matter-of-fact tone." // Not an option I'd personally choose, but "matter of fact" can work too :-). There's more than one way to go about it. Thanks for the Lexico link.
48 mins
  -> Appear to be splitting hairs; however you want to word it! then, "statement of facts"; some seem to be so hung up on "noun" or "adjective" thing! https://www.lexico.com/definition/matter_of_fact (noun here, delete hyphens). Regards.

agree  Toni Castano: Yes, Taña, "matter-of-fact" is also a noun and can work in this context too. Merriam Webster: matter of fact: a matter primarily involving proof or evidence rather than a question of law. // Yes, without hyphens.
1 hr
  -> Thank you so much Toni. Matter of fact (without the hyphens is the noun - Lexico which I included). Again, thanks for the confirmation. Stay safe!

agree  AllegroTrans: without the hyphens, definitely
6 hrs
  -> Thanks. I corrected myself. Stay safe!

agree  David Hollywood: and agree with AT on this (no hyphens necessary)
9 hrs
  -> Thank you David; yes I realised my mistake after; and posted the noun form "matter of fact"; again, thanks and continue to be well!
