Circumstantial Evidence in United Kingdom
Definition of Circumstantial Evidence
In accordance with the work A Dictionary of Law, this is a description of Circumstantial Evidence : (circumstantial evidence, indirect evidence)
Evidence from which the judge or Jury may infer the existence of a fact in issue but which does not prove the existence of the fact directly. Case law has described circumstantial evidence as evidence that is relevant (and, therefore, admissible) but that has little probative value.
Compare direct evidence.
