Path in Tree is Unique/Sufficient Condition/Proof 1

Proof
Let $T$ be such that between any two vertices there is exactly one path.

Then $T$ is connected.

Suppose $T$ had a circuit, say $\tuple {u, u_1, u_2, \ldots, u_n, v, u}$.

Then there are two paths from $u$ to $v$:
 * $\tuple {u, u_1, u_2, \ldots, u_n, v}$

and
 * $\tuple {u, v}$

Hence, by Modus Tollendo Tollens, $T$ can have no circuits.

That is, by definition, $T$ is a tree.
