Does not need to prove that there are any facts that have been established conclusively?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Pitcher v. Kniss, 10 Cal.App.3d 931, 89 Cal.Rptr. 676 (Cal. App. 1970):
Nor need the existence of those facts have been established conclusively. The existence of the facts is itself a question of fact and may be inferred circumstantially. The sole question of law is whether there was sufficient evidence, direct or inferential, to submit the factual question to the jury. (Desherow v. Rhodes, 1 Cal.App.3d 733, 746--747, 82 Cal.Rptr. 138.)
