Practice question
A plaintiff identifies contractual notice as the ultimate disputed fact but offers only proof that the defendant once breached a different contract. No logical link to the notice is established. What is the defect?
- Every prior breach proves every later notice
- The supporting fact does not establish the selected factum probandum
- Only the plaintiff’s belief determines the link
- All facts about the defendant are equally probative
- The legal label removes relevance requirements
