What is the difference between "presumed" and "deemed". What is the legal significance of the difference?



Answer:
"Presumed" is like an assumption. You are "presumed" not guilty according to our constitution. "Deemed" is where someone labels you as something, with our without fact to back that label up; such as "he has been "deemed" untrustworthy." I hope that helps!

One of the best things about the British legal system is everyone is presumed Innocent, until proven guilty.
Presumed means that the preponderance of opinion or evidence suggests that a certain thing is or is not so.

Deemed means irrespective of any other factor, majure it is so.

Example:

Throwing an apple core out the window is presumed to be environmentally friendly, but ANYTHING thrown out the window is deemed to be littering.
