Competent Evidence Law and Legal Definition
The term ‘competent evidence’ is used to refer evidence that is relevant, and of such nature that it can be received by a court of law. It refers to evidence that is appropriate and needed to prove the issue of fact that the parties have made. Competent evidence may also serve as a link to the subject matter that is to be proved.
Competent evidence is also known as proper evidence, admissible evidence, relevant evidence, or legal evidence.
