  • A stipulation is merely an agreement about a fact or a procedure. You enter stipulations to save the court time by removing undisputed issues from trial. For example, if you sue someone for breach of a written contract, you would have to prove that a valid contract exists to win your case. However, most of the time there is no real dispute that a contract exists when you have a written contract. Rather, the dispute is often about the interpretation of the contract. Thus, instead of wasting the courts time by providing evidence that a contract exists, it is more sensible to simply stipulate that the written contract is the contract. Stipulations don’t necessarily help you win because the parties are only going to stipulate to things that are not in dispute.
