A presumption is an inference which the trier of fact must draw from a basic fact, in the absence of evidence to rebut the presumption. The compelling effect of a true presumption is what distinguishes it from the so-called "presumption of fact" which is a mere logical inference that may be drawn by the trier of fact.
