خلفية ثقافية
The Greek legal system is based on Civil Law (Continental system). The 'presumption of innocence' (τεκμήριο αθωότητας) is a fundamental constitutional right, and the phrase 'κατά τεκμήριο' is the linguistic vehicle for this concept. In Greek universities, using 'katharevousa-lite' expressions like 'κατά τεκμήριο' is a sign of high education. Students are often encouraged to use such phrases to elevate the tone of their research papers. Serious Greek newspapers (like Kathimerini or To Vima) use this phrase to maintain objectivity. It allows journalists to state a likely fact without taking absolute responsibility for its truth. Many formal Greek expressions involving 'κατά' come from the Byzantine administrative and legal language, which sought to categorize every action under a specific rule or 'tekmērion'.
The 'Default' Rule
Use this phrase whenever you want to say 'unless someone proves otherwise, this is the standard.'
Don't overdo it
Using this more than once in a short email will make you sound like a lawyer from the 19th century.

الأسئلة الشائعة
3 أسئلةNot exactly. 'Probably' (πιθανώς) is about chance. 'Κατά τεκμήριο' is about a logical or legal rule that assumes something is true.
Only if you are joking or having a very serious debate. In a normal chat, it sounds too stiff.
There isn't a single phrase, but you could say 'αποδεδειγμένα' (provenly) or 'στην πράξη' (in practice) to show the difference between presumption and reality.
