Res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), a doctrine in tort law, can establish a prima facie (evidence that sustains a judgment in the absence of contradictory evidence) case. It is not clear what you are asking in your question about "inland disputes" (definition?).

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.
Is a prima facie evidence related only to procedural law?

Difference between actual duties and prima facie duties?
"According to W. D. Ross (1877-1971), there are several prima facie duties that we can use to determine what, concretely, we ought to do. A prima facie duty is a duty that is binding (obligatory) other things equal, that is, unless it is overridden or trumped by another duty or duties. Another way of putting it is that where there is a prima facie duty to do something, there is at least a fairly strong presumption in favor of doing it. An example of a prima facie duty is the duty to keep promises. "Unless stronger moral considerations override, one ought to keep a promise made."By contrast with prima facie duties, our actual or concrete duty is the duty we should perform in the particular situation of choice. Whatever one's actual duty is, one is morally bound to perform it. Prima facie duties relate to actual duties as reasons do to conclusions of reasoning.Note: The term "duty" in "prima facie duty" is slightly misleading. The prima facie duties are understood as guidelines, not rules without exception. If an action does not correspond to a specific guideline, one is not necessarily violating a rule that one ought to follow. However, not following the rule one ought to follow in a particular case is failing to do one's (actual) duty. In such cases it makes sense to talk about violating a rule. The rule might be the same in words as a prima facie duty (minus the phrase "unless other moral considerations override"), but it would no longer be merely a guideline because it describes what one concretely should do."
What is the so-called Prima Face Case?
Prima facie means "on its face" or "at first face/appearance" and may refer to a type of action that meets an element of a crime without the other party being able to offer rebuttal. Alternatively, it may be used to refer to the set of elements that must be proven in order to hold someone liable for a crime, e.g. to make out a prima facie case of negligence you must prove four elements.
If a case is established as being prima facie is it invariably brought before a court and if not why not?
No, if the defending party does not plead an affirmative defense or cannot produce contradictory evidence the case may be won on summary judgment without going to trial. Likely however a case will go to trial if the party has presented prima facie evidence that the crime or tort has been committed. Added: "Prima facie is a Latin phrase meaning "at first look," or, in plain English, "on the face of it," and refers to evidence available before trial that is sufficient to prove the case, unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary that can be produced at trial. Although the case may not actually go to court a prima facie case must still be presented to a Grand Jury by the prosecution in order to get an indictment. Even if the evidence against them is overwhelming, and even if they want to "cop a plea," the defendant must still be indicted of the crime first.
In trying to make a prima facie case are documents regarding a business arrangement sufficient evidence to prove to Court that the arrangement was intentionally misrepresented by family lawyer?
If the documents include, for example, a letter from the lawyer that describes the arrangement differently from the arrangement itself, then perhaps, although intent is generally proven from all of the facts and circumstances. The family lawyer can seek to rebut your prima facie case with evidence of no mal intent, such as his / her sworn testimony, correspondence, etc.
Is it tort negligence if someone drives under influence of pain medicine and they cause and accident?
