Plausible definition

Plausible means the reserves data appear to be worthy of belief based on the information obtained by the independent qualified reserves auditor in carrying out the aforementioned steps. Negative assurance can be given by the independent reserves auditor, but an opinion cannot. For example, “Nothing came to my attention that would indicate the reserves information has not been prepared and presented in accordance with principles and definitions adopted by the SPEE (Calgary Chapter), and APEGGA (Practice Standard for the Evaluation of Oil and Gas Reserves for Public Disclosure).
Plausible means that stakeholders believe the logic of the model is correct: if we do these things, we will get the results we want and expect (Connell & Klem, 2000). “Doable” means the human, political, and economic resources are sufficient to implement the action strategies in the theory (Connell & Klem, 2000). “Testable” means that stakeholders believe there are credible ways to discover whether the results are as predicted (Connell & Klem, 2000). “Meaningful” means that stakeholders see the outcomes as important and see the magnitude of change in these outcomes being pursued as worth the effort (Connell & Klem, 2000).
Plausible means that there must be some real reason for supposing that the statement is true; Human Genome Sciences Inc v Eli Lilly & Co [2012] RPC 6 at [149]. This excludes speculative patents, based on mere assertion.

  • Plausible biological mechanisms are already identified that can reasonably account for most biological effects reported for exposure to RF and ELF at low-intensity levels (oxidative stress and DNA damage from free radicals leading to genotoxicity; molecular mechanisms at very low energies are plausible links to disease, e.g., effect on electron transfer rates linked to oxidative damage, DNA activation linked to abnormal biosynthesis and mutation).

  • Plausible does not mean probable, but the standard “asks for more than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted unlawfully .
