Mbuthia Macharia vs. Annah Mutua Ndwiga & Another Civil Appeal No. 297 of 2015 [2017] eKLR,
Burden of Proof

Therefore, while both the legal and evidential burdens initially rested upon the Appellant, the evidential burden may shift in the course of trial, depending on the evidence adduced. As the weight of evidence given by either side during the trial varies, so will the evidential burden shift to the party who would fail without further evidence”?
