The issue proves the act.

Explanation

An allegation stands or falls by its outcome at trial — the result of the proceeding is the ultimate test of whether the claim was well-founded.

Where this applies

• The outcome of the trial is the ultimate test of whether the complaint had merit.
• The final result proves whether the allegations were well-founded.
