I have to presume that Canada and the UK work to the same levels of proof in Civil and Criminal cases, if thats is so, then in a Civil claim (ie not a criminal action, but one made for compensation) the standard of proof required ins 'On the Balance of Porbability'. In a Criminal trial the standard would be beyond reasonable doubt.

So the answer is Probably.
