French term or phrase: force probante insuffisante
Contexte:

"Ainsi, à nos yeaux, un échange d'e-mails de même que l'acceptation par un clic des conditions générales qui incorporent une clause d'arbitrage constituent un échange de données comparable à un échange de lettres ou de télégrammes. Au demeurant, on ne voit pas en quoi les nouveaux moyens de communication tels que les e-mails disposeraient d'une **force probante insuffissante** pour démontrer que deux parties souhaitent soumettre leur litige à l'arbitrage."

Merci Beaucoup,

Oops, I should have realized the numbers were off...
"Only" 13,900 ghits when "nsufficient probative value" [in quotes] is searched by itself. ("Bad Google! Bad Google!")

I still like this answer. ;-)
