Text
(a)Concordance of name alone is some evidence of identity. Residence, vocation, ownership of property, and other like facts may be proved. Reasonable certainty shall be all that is be required.
(b)In civil proceedings, parties shall generally be relieved from the onus of proving identity, as it is a fact generally more easily disproved than established.
