Hi, Jinesh. I'm sorry, I don't know. As you might've guessed, I did
Australian cases because I'm Australian. I do know though that there's
been discussed in the House of Lords the famous passage from The Sign

impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
That approach can't be used in the law.

Best wishes,

Leslie
