Assumption of guilt in the application of contractual and tort liability

The most important task of civil-law regulation is ensuring stability of the civil relations and all-round protection of the broken rights. Each participant of a civil turn, the victim of tort, should be confident in a complete recovery of the broken rights and legitimate interests, in compensation of the caused losses (harm). The mechanism of presumption of fault established by the civil legislation is one of important means of achievement of this purpose: it releases the victim of tort (creditor) from the proof of fault of the violator of the right (debtor) that in many cases is almost impossible to carry out, and forces the last one to prove the innocence.
