Does that really say the standard of proof in a civil case involving fraud is more aligned to the criminal standard, or is it just saying the standard is balance of probabilities but in view of the serious of the charges the cogency of the evidence required elevates the standard?
Which is what we have been saying in our case?
In the circumstances of the case quoted, this meant a standard not far short of the criminal standard. In our case, it may be less than that, or, much less likely, more?
My initial response to you was in relation to your post which said it’s a low bar balance of probabilities not prove without any doubt. All I’m trying to say is the threshold for proving fraud in a civil court is higher than other types of civil action. Perhaps I should have said close to the criminal standard rather than aligned.
