A presumption stands until the contrary is proved.

Explanation

Rebuttable presumptions have the force of proof until overcome by competent evidence to the contrary; the party challenging the presumption bears the burden.

Where this applies

• There's a legal presumption in my favor and the other side hasn't overcome it.
• The presumption stands unless they can prove otherwise and they haven't.
• I have the benefit of a presumption and the burden is on them to rebut it.
