Steps in a Civil Claim in a Magistrate’s Court
The aim in a civil claim is for the plaintiff to prove to the court that his or her case is better than the case of the defendant. In the court they say this must be proved on a ‘balance of probabilities’. This is different from the criminal case, where the state has to prove that the accused committed the crime ‘beyond all reasonable doubt’.
