Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spoliation inference is a legal principle that allows a court to infer that any missing, lost or destroyed evidence would have been harmful to the party responsible for its disappearance. This means that if one party cannot produce relevant documents or evidence, the court may infer that the missing evidence would have been unfavorable to that party.
