The burden of proof generally lies upon the party who is asserting or affirming a fact and to the existence of whose case or defense the proof of such fact is essential. If a negation or negative affirmation is essential to a party´s case or defense, the proof of such negation or negative affirmation lies on the party so affirming it.
