A factual predicate refers to the set of facts and circumstances that form the basis for a legal claim or argument. In legal proceedings, particularly those involving digital assets, this involves presenting verifiable evidence and specific events that support an assertion or accusation. The strength of a legal case often depends on the clarity and sufficiency of its factual predicate. It establishes the concrete foundation upon which legal principles are applied.
