prima facie case

Read a random definition: quamdiu

A quick definition of prima facie case:

Prima facie case: This means that there is enough evidence to support a claim or accusation. It is like having a first impression that something is true based on the available information. It does not mean that the claim or accusation is definitely true, but it is enough to start a legal case or investigation.

A more thorough explanation:

A prima facie case is a legal term that means there is enough evidence to support a claim or accusation. It is a Latin term that translates to "at first sight" or "on its face."

For example, if someone is accused of stealing, a prima facie case would require evidence such as eyewitness testimony or video footage that shows the person taking the item without permission. If there is enough evidence to support the claim, then a prima facie case has been established.

Another example could be in a discrimination case. If an employee can provide evidence that they were treated unfairly based on their race, gender, or other protected characteristic, then a prima facie case of discrimination has been established.

Overall, a prima facie case is important because it sets the foundation for a legal case. It shows that there is enough evidence to support a claim and allows the case to move forward in the legal system.
