Abstract

Abstract The usefulness of evidential presumptions in establishing undue influence in equity has long been debated. This article revisits this debate in the Hong Kong context, arguing evidential presumptions are, in essence, of little use in establishing undue influence because there is no necessary causation between evidential presumptions and the establishment of undue influence. This article examines the fiduciary and evidentiary nature of the evidential presumptions and compares them as tools with tests of establishing undue influence throughout judicial history. Social implications behind evidential presumptions have been considered, aiming to adopt a flexible approach based on the maxim of equity.
重审在香港施加不当影响的证据推定
摘要证据推定在衡平法中确立不正当影响的有效性一直存在争议。本文在香港的背景下重新审视了这一辩论,认为从本质上讲,证据推定在确立不正当影响方面用处不大,因为证据推定与确立不正当影响之间没有必然的因果关系。本文考察了证据推定的信托性和证据性,并将其与整个司法历史上确立不当影响的测试工具进行了比较。考虑了证据假设背后的社会影响,旨在采用基于公平准则的灵活方法。
