Where legal matters can be found, so, too, can legalese — representing a significant hurdle for defendants and plaintiffs alike. That is why our team places a premium on client education and why we’re defining a common legal term today. “Burden of proof” is the obligation to prove allegations presented in a court of law. It determines who is responsible for presenting evidence and the level of evidence required to satisfy the court. This principle is crucial in ensuring fairness and clarity in legal proceedings. In civil cases, the burden of proof typically rests on the plaintiff who must demonstrate their case "by the preponderance of the evidence," meaning it is more likely than not that the facts are as claimed. In criminal cases, however, the burden is on the prosecution and requires proof "beyond a reasonable doubt," a much higher standard, reflecting the serious implications of a criminal conviction. Understanding this concept is vital for both legal professionals and the public, as it shapes the course of litigation and protects the legal rights of all parties involved. As always, if you have legal questions or need, do not hesitate to give me a call. I am here to help you navigate the legal system with clarity and confidence. Your defense starts here!

So one logical inference Dave Seager is that #solicitors should refer to independent financial advice firms who act only for their clients, rather than to sales reps who act principally for a product manufacturer or investment manager which only earns anything if the client buys its products or invests in its funds? And they should also avoid "IFAs" which, despite meeting the FCAs nonsensical definition of "independence" are owned or controlled by Investment Managers? Presumably also they should be looking for firms which have reasonable critical mass, financial security and specialist qualifications such as accreditation by Society of Later Life Advisers Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners or Resolution? And maybe they should also look for one which charges fixed fees rather than percentage based charges (so the Financial Adviser doesn't have any incentive to encourage a client to invest more, to assume a higher risk profile than appropriate or to discourage clients from withdrawing from investments)?
