CASE, STATED, practice. An agreement in writing, between a plaintiff and
defendant, that the facts in dispute between them are as there agreed upon
and mentioned, 3 Whart. 143.
2. The facts being thus ascertained, it is left for the court to decide
for which party is the law. As no writ of error lies on a judgment rendered
on a case stated, Dane's Ab. c. 137, art. 4, n. Sec. 7, it is usual in the
agreement to insert a clause that the case stated shall be considered in the
nature of special verdict.
3. In that case, a writ of error lies on the judgment which may be
rendered upon it. And a writ of error will also lie on a judgment on a case
stated, when the parties have agreed to it. 8 Serg. & Rawle, 529.
4. In another sense, by a case stated is understood a statement of all
the facts of a case, together with the names of the witnesses, and, a detail
of the documents which are to support them. In other words, it is a brief.
