What is CLEAR EVIDENCE OR PROOF? Definition of CLEAR EVIDENCE OR PROOF in Black's Law Dictionary - Legal dictionary - Glossary of legal terms.
Evidence which is positive, precise and explicit, which tends directly to establish the point to which it is adduced and is sufficient to make out a prima facie case. Reynolds v. Blaisdell, 23 R.I. 16, 49 A. 42.
It necessarily means a clear preponderance. It may mean no more than a fair preponderance of proof but may be construed as requiring a higher degree of proof. It may convey the idea, under emphasis, of certainty. It may be understood as meaning beyond doubt. The expression is equivocal and mischievous. Aubin v. Duluth St. Ry. Co., 169 Minn. 342, 211 N.W. 580, 583.
