What does unable to present a prima facie case?

"Unable to present a prima facie case" refers to a situation in which a party fails to provide sufficient evidence to support their claims at an initial stage of a legal proceeding. A prima facie case means that the evidence presented is adequate to establish a fact or raise a presumption unless disproven. If a party is unable to meet this burden, the court may dismiss the case or specific claims without requiring the opposing party to present their defense. Essentially, it indicates that the evidence is insufficient to warrant further proceedings.
