présomption simple

English translation: rebuttable presumption

Law/Patents - Law (general)
French term or phrase: présomption simple
Is there a specific legal term for this in English?

Le code du travail pose le principe de la présomption de salariat pour les artistes du spectacle vivant et enregistré.
Il s’agit toutefois d’une **présomption simple** (i-e une présomption qui peut être renversée par la preuve contraire).
En effet, le droit français reconnaît l’existence d’artistes amateurs qui peuvent se produire à titre bénévole, c’est à dire sans rémunération, sans lien de subordination juridique et sans relation de travail avec les producteurs (voir le décret n ° 53-1253 du 19 décembre 1953, qui définit le groupement d’amateurs).

Thanks a lot!

neutral  AllegroTrans: Although not "wrong" you have by this suggestion pre-anticipated the meaning of the words in brackets - maybe "simple" would therefore be more accurate

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: Accurate rendition (for the UK) of the original's meaning . Also applicable to the US, I believe, but if this is for the US, the Asker will need to check relevant original language sources.

simple presumption


Explanation:
"EVIDENCE


3.7 Weight or Probative Value
3.7.3 Probative Value of Presumptions
3.7.3.1 Legal Presumptions

A legal presumption is an inference established by statute or a common law rule. The probative value of legal presumptions differs depending on whether they are absolute or simple presumptions.

Absolute legal presumptions are mandatory and cannot be reversed, even by admission of the opposing party. Section 134 of the Act regarding documents that are proof of their content is an example of a presumption that cannot be reversed.

Res judicata is an example of ....

Simple presumptions may be rebutted by contrary evidence. If they are not, the court or tribunal is bound by them. If the conditions of its existence are met, the court or tribunal must consider the unknown fact to be true, absent evidence to the contrary. These conditions are normally set out in the Act or Regulations; for example, s. 36 of the Regulations Section 36 of the Regulations sets out all the conditions by which monies received from the employer upon separation from an employment are considered to be earnings that must be allocated as insurable earnings.
