Practice question
In a debt case, the contested ultimate factual issue is whether payment occurred. A properly authenticated receipt is offered to show payment. In that analysis, which pairing is correct?
- Receipt: factum probandum; payment: mere exhibit number
- Both concepts refer only to the amount of filing fees
- Payment: factum probandum; the receipt and the facts it evidences: supporting factum probans
- Payment is a legal citation with no factual component
- The receipt automatically decides every issue in the case
