    It doesn’t need to be proved 100%, it’s just “balance of probabilities” so 51% and the OP would get that with a bag of 40 nails collected off the drive plus the identical one in a different bag together with a note from the tyre place saying it came out of his tyre.

    In reality I’d guess the builders will pay rather than get their insurance company involved given excess and the premium increase they will suffer if a claim happens.

    Of course he cannot, he is talking rubbish.

    If the builder says, that is not my nail, that's it, end of.

    End of what? End of for you, not for others. Once again you are talking rubbish about having to prove 100 % certainty.

    I'm glad someone else here knows their standards of proof. :T
