In regard to the burden of proof of consent, in Common Law jurisdictions where a relationship is characterized as confidential, or fiduciary, undue influence is presumed to be present. This means that in the medical contract the doctor has the burden of proving the voluntariness of the consent, which burden should be regarded as encompassing both the consent to the contract and consent to the medical procedure that it contemplates.
