证据法中的推定问题研究(一)

A Research on Several Issues of Presumptions in the Law of Evidence

推定是证据法中一项重要制度。它建立在真实的、具有盖然性效力的证据的基础之上,而免除了原告对推定事实的举证责任,是证明事实的一种特殊方法。推定制度对于实现诉讼公正、提高诉讼效率和解决证明中的困难,都具有不可替代的作用。本文对推定的基本概念、法律意义、法理基础、适用条件等问题作了较全面的分析、归纳,并提出了自己的见解。

Presumption is an important institution of the law of evidence. It can be defined as a process that a party offers to the court certain facts from which that court is invited to conclude that other facts must also exist. Presumptions are based on considerations of common sense and public policy but not necessarily those of logic. Through analyzing these questions we can improve the theory system of evidence.
