The Defence Does Not Have to Give Any Evidence Whatsoever

question 5

True/False

The Defence does not have to give any evidence whatsoever. It is for the Prosecution/Claimant to prove their case, not for the Defence to prove they are innocent/not liable. However, in a criminal context, adverse inferences may be drawn by a Defendant's failure to call or give evidence.
