Balance of probabilities

The standard or level of proof that applies to disputed facts in civil proceedings (that is, court proceedings not involving criminal offences). For example, in a civil case, if there is a dispute about whether a person did something, the judge will decide whether it is more probable than not that the person did it, based on the evidence.
