Artículo 2329 del código civil. La interpretación de presunción por hechos propios existe en la jurisprudencia

Abstract

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.
