Partial Evidence Defined

Partial Evidence is that which goes to establish a detached fact in a series of facts tending to prove the fact in dispute. It may be received, subject to being rejected as incompetent unless connected with the fact in dispute by proof of other facts. For example, on an issue of title to real property, evidence of the continued possession of a remote occupant is partial, for it is of a detached fact, which may or may not be afterwards connected with the fact in dispute.
