Although s.47(2) is procedurally framed and prospective to trials, it imposes a new and prejudicial evidential burden on facts predating its enactment; absent an express legislative statement that it applies to pre-enactment events the presumption cannot be relied on by the Crown in prosecutions for offences committed before the amendment.
