The answer to Saturday's quiz is d) on the balance of probabilities. The standard of proof for criminal litigation is beyond reasonable doubt. Here is our definition of balance of probabilities taken from "Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Vocabulary Series" available on Amazon.
Balance of Probabilities (noun): This is the standard of proof that the claimant must satisfy to be successful in their claim. This means that in civil litigation a claimant must prove their claim is more likely to have happened than not. It is a completely different standard of proof from criminal law, where the standard of proof is to be sure of the guilt of the defendant. This was previously known as beyond reasonable doubt. Associated Words: Case (noun), Claim (noun), Claimant (noun), Defendant (noun), Standard of Proof (noun).
