Basically it's legal speak for anything hidden. you have to remember the literal definition of "occult"

Do you know this, or is it a plausible-sounding theory you came up with just now?

The only definition found in the Black's Law Dictionary is for occult marriage, which is when only the two parties of the wedding know. I think the legal definition of occult could very well be within the bounds of hidden (which makes sense in the context) versus magical (which really doesn't makes sense in the context).

Not sure why the original comment is getting downvoted, I am tending to agree with him...
