substantiate allegations (support them with evidence, though not necessarily prove them) Explanation: "Make out" here means more than "state" but something less than "prove". It means that the allegations have been supported or substantiated, so that there is a prima facie case to be answered: at first sight, there is reason to believe that the allegations are true. In a criminal context, to make out a case against someone means to present sufficient grounds to justify charging that person with an offence and calling upon the person to defend him/herself against the charge. The case has not yet been proven and the accused person may be able to rebut it. The expression is used in non-legal contexts too. "6 make out a case (for something) to find good reasons that prove something or show why you need something" https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/make-out "in order to interview him, we would have to have had reasonable grounds to suspect that an [offence] had been committed. The investigation had shown that while an allegation had been made, the offence had not been made out in law and as such those reasonable grounds had ceased" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/15/report... |
