일반적으로 원고가 입증 책임이 있으나... 검색을 통해 피고에게 입증 책임이 전가 되는 경우는 원고가 피고 제조사 상품의 결함을 찾기가 쉽지가 않을 경우 임을 알수 있었습니다. 예를 들어 차량 결함 같은 경우 원고가 차량의 복잡한 구조를 이해 할 수 없으므로 차량 결함으로 부상을 당한 사용자는 차량 결함을 입증을 하기 매루 어렵다고 할수 있습니다. 따라서 입증 책임의 기준이 현저하게 낮아지게 되고 한편 재조사는 이런 낮은 수준의 입증을 반박 할수도 있는 시스템을 입증책임 전가라고 일컫는듯 합니다.

shifting the burden of proof
Primary tabs
Shifting the burden of proof means to change the responsibility of proving or disproving a point from one party to the other party. Shifting the burden of proof is used in a variety of legal areas to allow more flexibility in courtroom procedure. In operation, if a party meets a certain burden of proof on something, then shifting the burden of proof still allows the other party to make counterpoints before a judge or jury decides the issue. Shifting the burden of proof is very useful in areas where fault or evidence is difficult to pin-down but society has a large interest in protecting plaintiffs. For example, if a plaintiff was in a car wreck which they claim was due to a vehicular malfunction, it is hard to reverse the clock to determine positively whether a malfunction existed and caused the accident. According to evidence standards for other areas, the vehicle owner often would not be able to prove the manufacturer was responsible. However, shifting the burden of proof would allow the plaintiff to meet a lesser burden than may be required for other areas while giving the manufacturer the ability to rebut the possibly minimal evidence.
