Definitions from the Web

Term: Apparent Consent

Definition: Apparent consent refers to the situation where a person's actions or behavior imply consent, even if they do not expressly give consent verbally or in writing.

Senses and Usages:

  1. Noun: In legal contexts, apparent consent can be relied upon as a defense in cases where explicit consent is not given but implied through actions or circumstances. For example:
    "The plaintiff claimed assault, but the defendant argued that the victim's apparent consent was evident due to their voluntary participation in the activity."
  2. Adjective: Describing a situation or agreement that seems to be consent although it may not be explicitly stated. For example:
    "Their nod and smile conveyed apparent consent to the terms of the contract."
  3. Verb: The act of giving the impression or appearance of granting consent without actually doing so. For example:
    "The suspect tried to trick the victim into apparent consent by forging a signature on the document."
