A collative fact is a type of fact that confers rights to an individual. It is also known as an investitive fact. It is a fact that is directly connected to the issue in dispute and involves the same transaction at issue.
For example, if a person buys a car from another person, the fact that the car was sold to the buyer is a collative fact. It is directly connected to the issue in dispute, which is the ownership of the car. The fact that the car was sold to someone else in a different transaction is not a collative fact because it is not directly connected to the issue in dispute.
