W.R.E. 301
Presumptions in general in civil actions and proceedings
(a) Effect. — In all civil actions and proceedings not otherwise provided for by statute
or by these rules, a presumption imposes on the party against whom it is directed the
burden of proving that the nonexistence of the presumed fact is more probable than its
existence.
(b) Inconsistent presumptions. — If presumptions are inconsistent, the presumption
applies that is founded upon weightier considerations of policy. If considerations of
policy are of equal weight neither presumption applies.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
