It [payment under protest] often occurs [when] payment is demanded of a debtor who, although quite convinced he owes nothing, realizes that failure to pay would result in serious prejudice to himself. It was decided that, in such cases, the debtor may pay under protest, that is, execute the obligation while at the same time declaring that he owes nothing, and that such payment cannot therefore be taken as tacit or express recognition of the fact that payment is due or that the debt exists.... payment under protest brings about a shifting of the burden of proof : the right of recovery arises in favour of the payer unless the person who has received the payment proves that such payment was in fact due. 1, record 1, English, - payment%20under%20protest

circumstantial evidence: The characterization of evidence as "direct" or "circumstantial" points to the kind of inference which is sought to be drawn from the evidence to the truth of the proposition for which it is offered. (If) the inference sought is merely from the fact that the witness made the statement, and the assumption that witnesses are worthy of belief, to the truth of the asserted fact, (t)his is direct evidence. When, however, the evidence is offered also for some further proposition based upon some inference to the truth of the fact asserted, then the evidence is circumstantial evidence of this further fact-to-be-inferred.

The notice taken may be of a matter of fact or law.

The basis of prescription is that if long enjoyment of a right is shown, the court will strive to uphold the right by presuming that it had a lawful origin. Thus the court may presume, on proof of the fact of long enjoyment that there once was an actual grant of the right, even though it is impossible to produce any direct evidence of such a grant. It is then "the habit, and in my view the duty, of the court, so far as it lawfully can, to clothe the fact with right".

Consent can be oral or written. That said, however, written consent is usually preferable and is the norm in practice. It is preferable because it can be used as evidence should a dispute about consent arise in the future. It is important to note that the mere fact of a patient's signature on a consent form does not constitute proof of consent. Instead, the content of the consent form can provide an evidentiary basis for conclusions about the content of the dialogue between the health care provider and the patient. 4, record 30, English, - evidence%20of%20consent

Said of a coin having a surface as flawless and brilliant, or nearly so, as a proof due to the fact that it is-one of the first coins struck with fresh, new dies;-one of the coins struck from dies originally intended for proofs, then converted to ordinary coinage; or-one of the coins deliberately struck to resemble a proof but struck only once, like an ordinary coin, a highly polished blank being struck with highly polished dies. Coins so produced are sold to collectors as above-average specimens. 1, record 34, English, - prooflike

The practice of striking special sets of coins using this method first began in Canada in 1953. Actually, the term "proof-like" was first used by a Toronto coin dealer, James E. Charlton, around 1954, as a descriptive for what the RCM had labelled publicly as "uncirculated". Even if the term was eventually widely accepted, the Mint never adopted it and has continued to use "uncirculated". 1, record 34, English, - prooflike

[The] fact that the onus of proof is on the claimant can appear threatening. For example, there are some situations in which the information obtained from both parties may vary. The evaluation of the credibility of the information and statements in such a case is particularly crucial. It is therefore proposed that the legislation be amended to enshrine the notion that, in such cases, the benefit of the doubt must be given to the claimant. 1, record 35, English, - credibility%20of%20statements

[Le] fait d'imposer le fardeau de la preuve au prestataire peut sembler menaçant. Par exemple, dans certains cas, les renseignements obtenus auprès des deux parties peuvent diverger. L'évaluation de la crédibilité des renseignements et des déclarations revêt donc une importance capitale dans un tel cas. Il est donc proposé de modifier la législation de façon à garantir clairement le bénéfice du doute au prestataire dans de tels cas. 1, record 35, French, - cr%C3%A9dibilit%C3%A9%20des%20d%C3%A9clarations
