Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Whenever the provisions of this title create a "presumption" with respect to a fact, or provide that a fact is "presumed", the trier of fact must find the existence of the fact unless and until evidence is introduced that supports a finding of its nonexistence.
OFFICIAL COMMENT
Source: Former Section 1-201(31).
Changes from former law. None, other than stylistic changes.
1. Several sections of the Uniform Commercial Code state that there is a "presumption" as to a certain fact, or that the fact is "presumed." This section, derived from the definition appearing in former Section 1-201(31), indicates the effect of those provisions on the proof process.
