    You don't. There are two sides to the story, they tell theirs, you tell yours. Gather the necessary proof you have and present it to the courts, the claimant does the same.


    The evidence is studied then you both put over your case. The judge decides first on proof then then in some cases the balance of obvious probabilities.


    It's not like the criminal courts where you stand up and shout "Objection".
