Rebuttable Presumption legal definition of Rebuttable Presumption. Rebuttable Presumption synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.

A conclusion as to the existence or nonexistence of a fact that a judge or jury must draw when certain evidence has been introduced and admitted as true in a lawsuit but that can be contradicted by evidence to the contrary.

A rebuttable presumption can be overturned only if the evidence contradicting it is true and if a reasonable person of average intelligence could logically conclude from the evidence that the presumption is no longer valid. For example, a person who has been judicially declared incompetent is presumed incompetent unless there is sufficient proof, usually in the form of medical testimony, that the person has regained competency.

In Criminal Law, there is a Presumption of Innocence in favor of the accused. The prosecution must establish Beyond a Reasonable Doubt that the accused committed the crime charged.

rebuttable presumption n. since a presumption is an assumption of fact accepted by the court until disproved, all presumptions are rebuttable. Thus rebuttable presumption is a redundancy. (See: presumption)
