With regard to the process of a civil law suit in a superior court, which of the following is false?
a. The plaintiff must prove his case on the balance of probabilities, whereas a prosecutor in a criminal action has to prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt.
b. A defendant in a civil action might also be charged in a criminal action for the same act, e.g. a battery.
c. If the defendant makes a payment into court and the eventual award of damages is greater the plaintiff must bear all of the costs of the action.
d. Failure of the defendant to enter an appearance can result in judgment being taken against him without the court having heard his side of the argument.
e. If in the examination for discovery, the defendant admits facts set out in the plaintiff's statement of claim, the plaintiff does not have to prove those facts at trial; he merely reads the admissions from the transcript of the examinations.
