What is the burden of proving that a defendant has a claim against them?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Behazin v. Dignity Health, Inc., B293805 (Cal. App. 2020):

Once the defendant meets this burden, the burden shifts to the plaintiff to show that a triable issue of fact exists as to that cause of action or defense. If the plaintiff is unable to show the existence of a triable issue of material fact, summary judgment in favor of the defendant is proper. (Union Bank v. Superior Court, supra, 31 Cal.App.4th at p. 590.)
