Presumption of advancement
The presumption of advancement is a legal presumption which arises in various common law jurisdictions in relation to the transfers of money or other property.
Broadly, the presumption states that where a husband transfers property to his wife, or a father to his child or someone to whom he has assumed parental responsibility, then in the absence of other evidence the court will presume that the transfer was by way of gift.
In Australia it has also been held to apply to transfers from a male fiancé to a female fiancée.
In Hong Kong it has been suggested that it may also apply to an official concubine.
In all other circumstances the transfer is presumed to be by way of loan( in the case of money) or subject to a presumed resulting trust in the case of other property.
Sometimes, less commonly, the presumption is referred to in the reverse, in that all other transfers are said to be subject to a presumption of loan.
The presumption has been subjected to criticism on the basis that it reflects outdated Victorian era social values, i.e. a transfer from a father or a husband is to be presumed to be a gift, but not a transfer from a wife or a mother( although in Australia it has been recognised in Brown v Brown that a wife can transfer property to her husband).
Others have questioned whether the presumption has any significant effect in practice.
Some academics have even questioned whether it is accurate to say that there is presumption of advancement at all.
There is no presumption of advancement between cohabiting couples( whether heterosexual or homosexual), nor between a man and his mistress.
The presumption is rebuttable by evidence.
In" Pettitt v Pettitt"[ 1970] AC 777 Lord Hodson indicated that the weight to be accorded to the presumption is very slight, and that it might be rebutted by the slightest of evidence.
It has also been referred to as a" judicial instrument of the last resort".
But in the absence of any other evidence the presumption will still apply.
The earliest known case where the presumption has been cited dates from 1677.
In the Hong Kong case of" Suen Shu Tai v Tam Fung Tai"[ 2014] HKEC 1125 the Court of Appeal of Hong Kong, in" obiter dicta", preferred the modern approach in that the presumption of advancement applies equally where a mother transfers property to her child.
However, it left open the question of whether the presumption applies where a mother transfers property to an adult independent child.

Presumption of guilt
Presumption of guilt is the principle that one is considered guilty unless proven innocent: thus the burden of proof is on the accused, not the accuser.
Presumption of guilt is a denial of an international human right under Article 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Under the presumption of guilt, the legal burden of proof is thus on the defense, which must collect and present compelling evidence to the trier of fact.
Presumption of guilt shifts the burden of proof onto the defendant, who must then prove their innocence in order to achieve acquittal.
Presumption of legitimacy
The" presumption of legitimacy" is a common law rule of evidence that states that a child born within the subsistence of a marriage is deemed to be the child of the husband.

It was the first release for Roger Corman's distribution company New World Pictures.
After successfully distributing" Beast of Blood" in 1970, producer Kane W. Lynn( as Hemisphere Pictures) tried to get the distribution rights to Ashley's next horror film, titled" Beast of the Yellow Night".
Ashley and his production company Four Associates Ltd. put up the money to produce the film themselves in the Philippines, and instead of allowing Lynn to distribute it, he made a deal with Roger Corman's then- fledgling New World Pictures instead.
Lynn's ex-business partner in Hemisphere Pictures, Eddie Romero, was hired to direct and co-produce, but Lynn was cut out of the deal.
Ashley's Four Associates Ltd. went on to produce several other films in the Philippines, such as" The Twilight People The Woman Hunt" and" Ebony, Ivory& Jade", before disbanding.
Lynn invested in Sam Sherman's 1971 sci-fi film" Brain of Blood", which did not fare well, and died soon after of cancer in 1975.
