| "In administrative cases against lawyers, the quantum of proof required is preponderance of evidence which the complainant has the burden to discharge."[49] Preponderance of evidence means that the evidence adduced by one side is, as a whole, superior to or has a greater weight than that of the other. It means evidence which is more convincing to the court as worthy of belief compared to the presented contrary evidence. | |||||
