Key Principle

In an ETS/TOEIC English-language-test deception case, where the Secretary of State adduces generic evidence that a test centre was systematically fraudulent together with an ETS 'invalid' result identifying the appellant's particular test as taken by a proxy, that combined evidence discharges her burden of proving deception, and a candidate's bare assertion of innocence will rarely be enough to rebut it.
