事实推定与证明责任——从“彭宇案”切入

适用证明责任裁判案件是法官面对案件事实真伪不明时的普遍性选择，适用事实推定追求案件事实是法官避免适用证明责任裁判案件的能动性努力；事实推定适用的条件是适用事实推定抑或适用证明责任裁判案件的界限；适用事实推定后，诉讼前分配好的证明责任不会发生转移，但提供证据责任将发生转移。

Assumption of Fact and the Burden of Proof: from the Peng Yu Case

It is the general choice of judges while facing non liquet in courts to apply the burden of proof. The application of assumption of fact in pursuing the facts is the initiative effort made by judges so that they may evade the application of burden of proof in adjudication. The requirements for the application of the presumption of fact lie in their application boundary. After the application of the presumption of fact, the burden of proof will not shift, but the burden to provide evidence will.
