Preponderance Of Evidence
The term "Preponderance of Evidence" refers to a standard of proof used in civil cases. It means that one side's evidence is more convincing and likely true than the other side's. In this context, the party with the burden of proof must show that their claims are more probable than not, typically represented as over 50% certainty.
This standard is less stringent than the "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" standard used in criminal cases. In civil litigation, such as disputes involving contracts or personal injury, the plaintiff must establish their case by demonstrating that their evidence outweighs that of the defendant.
