Abstract

According to the classical view, conclusive presumptions are nothing but an abstruse way of referring to substantive rules. At most, the peculiarity of these putatively alleged presumptions would be that they are devices from which one can infer substantive rules. Hence, according to the classical view, conclusive presumptions are not presumptions at all. This paper shows that, despite its wide acceptance, the classical picture is misleading. The article indicates where the presumptive nature of the conclusive presumptions lays. In addition, it highlights the enormous practical relevance of conclusive presumptions so conceived.
