Usage: &quot;Error of Fact&quot;
<p>If a contractor asserts a series of false statement in a record, whether it is mistaken or intentional, is it incorrect to label the group of false statements "Error(s) of fact"?  </p>

<p>Upon looking up an example:</p>

<p>"An <a href="https://www.ridoutbarron.com/blog/2016/07/an-error-of-law-versus-an-error-of-fact.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">error of fact</a> means that you think the <strong>judge</strong> had the wrong facts or interpreted them incorrectly."</p>

<p>I realize that this phrase is normally applied to judge and seeking a phrase to apply to coin the contractor's assertions in a document that would be read by judge. </p>

<p>The term "misstatements of fact" would be far more conventional. When a statement is not true, it is a "misstatement", and that term does not imply any particular degree of intent. It is not synonymous with a "lie" or a "fraudulent statement".</p>
