Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit
- Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit
"Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat" (Latin: the burden of proof rests on who asserts, not on who denies), is a latin legal term used to refer to the principle of presumption of innocence.
Common law
In British common law, the term means, loosely, "the onus of proving a fact rests upon the man". [ [http://www.clickdocs.co.uk/glossary/ei-incumbit-probatio-qui.htm Clickdocs.co.uk Glossary] ] [ [http://www.lawteacher.net/Glossary.htm#e Law-Teacher.net] ] Another rough translation is, "The proof lies upon the one who affirms, not the one who denies." [ [http://www.just-quotes.com/common_latin_legal_terms.html Just Quotes web site] ] [ [http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/bouvier/maxims.shtml Bouvier's Maxims] , citing various cases and treatises, "q.v."]
The fully stated maxim is, allegedly: "Ei incumbit probatio, qui dicit, non qui negat; cum per rerum naturam factum negantis probatio nulla sit. - The proof lies upon him who affirms, not upon him who denies; since, by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof."

Civil law
