You are in a court case about the Gangs Act 2024. The court must decide some facts in the case. They decide these facts based on what is most likely to be true. You can think of it like a scale with two sides. If one side is slightly heavier, that side wins. This is called the balance of probabilities. The court uses this rule for cases under the Gangs Act 2024, but not for criminal cases. You can find similar rules in other laws, like the one mentioned https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=LMS258687
