By sally
In re B (Minors) (Sexual Abuse: Standard of Proof) [2008] UKHL 35; [2008] WLR (D) 186
“The standard of proof to be applied when establishing the threshold for making a care order under s 31(2) or the welfare considerations under s 1 of the Children Act 1989 was the simple balance of probabilities and neither the seriousness of the allegations nor the seriousness of the consequences should make any difference to the standard of proof in determining the facts.”
