Preponderance of Evidence

When you believe a person has committed an act of civil fraud against you and your company, you are likely to want to pursue legal action against them. In order to obtain the compensation which you are seeking, there needs to be proof that another party committed civil fraud. Often times in civil law, this is somewhat easier to prove as you almost always only need preponderance of evidence.

The Facts

In order to establish that another person is guilty of committing civil fraud, generally you only need to show a preponderance of evidence. Also known as the balance of probabilities, preponderance of guilt involves demonstrating that the defendant is more than 50% likely to have committed the act of which they are being accused.

There are no standards of preponderance of evidence, making the preponderance of evidence needed for each civil case unique. For each case, the evidence must simply be enough to prove that the person is probably guilty of the accusation.
