stipulation

In the law of the United States, a stipulation is a formal legal acknowledgement and agreement made between opposing parties prior to a pending hearing or trial. For example, both parties might stipulate to certain facts, and therefore not have to argue those facts in court. After the stipulation is entered into, it is presented to the judge. In other legal systems a similar concept is called different names.

Bei der Stipulation (lat. stipulatio = förmliches Versprechenlassen, auch „Stipulierung“) handelt es sich um einen Vertragstyp des römischen Rechts (sog. „Verbalkontrakt“, lat.: obligatio verbis contracta).
