🍁 In Simple Terms
For the security, rights-violation, criminality, and organized-crime grounds (sections 34 to 37), the evidence bar is far lower than in a criminal court: a finding can rest on reasonable grounds to believe something happened, is happening, or may happen in future, and something you failed to do counts as much as something you did. The other grounds are decided on the ordinary more-likely-than-not standard.
