Question of fact v Question of law

Where something is a question of fact it means that the implications of a specific matter are being disputed

Just recently in the UK a number of criminal charges have been dropped because it was found they 2 people in the DNA testing laboratories had been falsifying DNA results

Now some people have already been convicted based on DNA evidence and those cases are ow being very closely reviewed because the facts of the DNA findings that helped to consist them are now being re-looked at

A question of law arises where, for example, a High Court judge faced with a case where new legislation is being considered makes a decision based on that judge’s own interpretation of the law

But appeal may then result where the losing counsel appeal to the Court of Appeal claiming that the High Court judge has misinterpreted the law

So that appeal would be one that is based on a question of law

OK?
