In fact, this evidence rule is so very important, judges describe the rule before taking testimony from applicants. As a result, knowing this rule and standard can help applicants when seeking benefits.

What is the Unemployment Law on Preponderance of Evidence?
I am glad you asked. “Preponderance of the evidence” means evidence in support of a fact that is more convincing and has a greater probability of truth than the evidence opposing the fact.
As simple as this might look, it is actually quite complicated. I say this because unlike other types of court cases, hearsay is allowed.
On the other hand, if you recently appealed a case and saw a decision that referenced this legal term, consider seeking help.
