Civil Procedure – Burden of Proof – In civil cases, the Plaintiff bears the burden to prove claims on a balance of probabilities; allegations of fraud or forgery require cogent and compelling evidence.
Contract – Existence of Agreement – Where no documentary evidence establishes a contractual relationship between the parties, the Court cannot infer an agreement to pay for goods merely from delivery orders or oral assertions.
Conspiracy – Unlawful Release of Goods – To establish civil conspiracy, a Plaintiff must prove concerted action and unlawful intent; mere suspicion or irregularities in documents without proof of collusion are insufficient.
