Plaintiff's Burden of Proof as to Amounts

activein force · 2008-01-01 – presentas-observed

The plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence the amount of any damages to be

reasonable certainty. Although damages may be based on reasonable and probable estimates,

you may not award damages on the basis of guess, speculation or conjecture.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
