Neither this instruction nor Instruction 125B purports to cover instances in which a statute is controlled.</p><p>\tWhere a presumption governed by IRE 301 is involved, the court should instruct as follows:</p><p>\t1. Instruction 1.30.1 should be given when the basic facts which give rise to a presumption have been proved beyond reasonable dispute and no substantial evidence has been offered to disprove the fact established by the presumption, or when the fact to be proved by a presumption has otherwise been proved beyond reasonable dispute.</p><p>\t2. Instruction 1.30.2 should be given when the basic facts giving rise to the presumption are in dispute and no substantial evidence has been offered by the party opposing the presumption to disprove the fact established by the presumption.</p><p>\tInstruction 1.30.1 should be used when no substantial evidence has been introduced by either party concerning the existence of the presumed fact.</p><p>\tInstruction 1.30.2 should be used when the party who claims the benefit of the presumption has introduced evidence apart from the presumption, the presumption has been rebutted and disappears, the jury will decide the issue based on the evidence, and no instruction should be given.</p><p>\t3.  Where substantial evidence of the nonexistence of the presumed fact has been presented by the party opposing the presumption, the presumption has been rebutted and disappears, the jury will decide the issue based on the evidence, and no instruction should be given.</p><p>\t4.  Where insufficient evidence has been presented to permit the jury to find that the basic facts have been proved, the presumption does not arise.</p>"},"jury_instruction_title":{"data_type":"string","value":"IDJI 1.30 – Presumptions"}}}],"document_type_id":6,"document_type":"Civil Jury Instruction","entry_date":"2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z","expiration_date":null,"seo_title":null,"seo_description":"IDJI 1.30 – Presumptions","og_title":null,"og_type":null,"og_url":null,"tags":[{"name":"SECTION 1.00 – GENERAL PROCEDURE","description":"Jury instruction section: SECTION 1.00 – GENERAL PROCEDURE"}],"categories":[],"navigation":{"primary":{"name":"Main Navigation","content":[{"label":"About the Courts","children":[],"description":"As the Third Branch of Government, we provide access to justice through the timely, fair, and impartial resolution of cases.","link":"about-the-courts"},{"label":"Cases & Opinions","children":[],"description":"Find opinions and case documents from the Idaho Supreme Court and the Idaho Court of Appeals.","link":"cases-opinions"},{"label":"Rules & Procedures","children":[],"description":"This section provides access to the court’s rules, guidelines, and procedures that govern how cases move through the judicial system.","link":"rules-procedure"},{"label":"Administration","children":[],"description":"The Administration section provides access to rules, orders, policies, and related resources that govern the administration and operation of Idaho’s courts.","link":"administrative"},{"label":"Self-Help","children":[],"description":"The Self-Help section offers clear, practical information and resources to help people understand court processes and navigate their cases with greater confidence.","link":"self-help"},{"label":"Mission & Goals","children":[],"link":"mission"},{"label":"History of the Idaho Courts","children":[],"link":"history"},{"label":"Judicial Directory","children":[],"link":"judicial-directory"},{"label":"Procedures","children":[],"link":"sc-procedures"},{"label":"Justices","children":[],"link":"sc-justices"},{"label":"Procedures","children":[],"link":"ica-procedures"},{"label":"Judges","children":[],"link":"ica-judges"},{"label":"ADA Accommodations","children":[],"link":"ada-accommodations"},{"label":"Language Access","children":[],"link":"language-access"},{"label":"Child Protection Resources","children":[],"link":"child-protection"},{"label":"Family Court Services","children":[],"link":"family-court"},{"label":"Guardianship / Conservatorship","children":[],"link":"guardianship-conservatorship"},{"label":"Juvenile Justice","children":[],"link":"juvenile-justice"},{"label":"Domestic Violence Courts","children":[],"link":"domestic-violence"},{"label":"Court Assistance Office","children":[],"description":"The Idaho Court Assistance Office (CAO) provides resources, court forms, document review, and legal information for people who want to represent themselves in court, or who are unable to afford an attorney and would otherwise be unable to get their day in court.
