Law parsimony refers to the principle that legal cases should be decided with the simplest explanation that accounts for all the available evidence. This means that there should be few assumptions made and that the explanation should be as straightforward as possible. Synonyms for law parsimony include Ockham's razor, the principle of economy, the principle of simplicity, and the principle of parsimony. All of these terms refer to the idea that the simplest explanation is usually the best one, and that complex explanations that rely on many suppositions or assumptions should be avoided whenever possible. These principles are important in many scientific and legal fields, as they help ensure that investigations and court cases are handled in a clear and efficient way.
