When a master or judge makes a decision following a hearing, he or she does three things. First, the court makes a decision about the evidence and what the facts of the case are; this is called making a ''finding of fact''. Second, the court decides what the law applicable to the case is. Third, the court applies the law to the facts. These last two steps are called ''findings of law''.
