In the US courts system, juries are used to determine questions of fact, but if the facts are not in question, a judge can apply the law and there's no need for a jury.

Agreeing that there's no question of facts speeds the whole process along quite a bit. There's no need for witness testimony, it can all be managed in hearings and with breifings.
