Canon 1584. | A presumption is a probable conjecture about an uncertain matter; a presumption of law is one which the law itself establishes; a human presumption is one which a judge formulates. |
Canon 1585. | A person who has a favorable presumption of law is freed from the burden of proof, which then falls to the other party. |
Canon 1586. | The judge is not to formulate presumptions which are not established by law unless they are directly based on a certain and determined fact connected with the matter in dispute. |
