ARTíCULO 2329 DEL CóDIGO CIVIL: LA INTERPRETACIóN DE PRESUNCIóN POR HECHOS PROPIOS EXISTE EN LA JURISPRUDENCIA

chilean jurisprudence generally understands article 2329 of the chilean civil code as a confirmation of the rule established in article 2314 of the same code, in which the victim must prove negligence in torts. however, there is a jurisprudential line which recognizes in this disposition an autonomous source of law based on professor alessandri's doctrine which allows the presumptions of negligence and cause-effect relation for personal conducts.
