Under BSA section 119, what is the nature of the court’s general factual inferences from natural events, human conduct and business?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 119 uses "may presume", and under section 2(1)(h) the court can treat a fact as proved unless disproved or call for proof, so these inferences are "Discretionary, with attention to the circumstances of the case". This differs from a mandatory rebuttable presumption and from "Conclusive and incapable of rebuttal".
