concealment

A quick definition of concealment:

Concealment means not telling someone important information that they need to know before making a deal or agreement. This can happen on purpose or by accident. If the information is really important and the person who didn't tell knew it was important, the deal might not be fair and could be cancelled. There are three types of concealment: when someone doesn't say something they should, when someone lies to hide something, and when someone stays quiet when they should speak up.

A more thorough explanation:

Concealment is when someone intentionally or unintentionally hides important information that should be shared in a contract. This can happen when someone lies or doesn't tell the whole truth about something that could affect the agreement. If the information is important and the other party couldn't have known about it, the contract might be cancelled.

  • Active concealment: When someone doesn't share important information even though they have a duty to do so.
  • Fraudulent concealment: When someone hides information on purpose to trick or cheat the other party.
  • Passive concealment: When someone doesn't say anything even though they should have shared important information.

Let's say you're selling a car to someone. You know that the car has a problem with the brakes, but you don't tell the buyer. This is an example of active concealment because you had a duty to disclose the problem but didn't.

Another example is if you're selling a house and you know that there's a leak in the roof, but you don't tell the buyer. This is an example of fraudulent concealment because you're intentionally hiding information to deceive the buyer.

Finally, let's say you're selling a used phone online. You know that the battery life is very short, but you don't mention it in the listing. This is an example of passive concealment because you should have disclosed the information but didn't say anything.

These examples show how concealment can happen in different situations and how it can affect contracts. It's important to be honest and share all relevant information when making agreements with others.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
