Simple English definitions for legal terms

negative act

Read a random definition: dolus

A quick definition of negative act:

A negative act is when someone doesn't do something they were supposed to do. This can be a problem because it breaks a legal duty to take action. It's like not doing your homework when you were supposed to. It's important to do what you're supposed to do so you don't get in trouble.

A more thorough explanation:

A negative act is a failure to do something that is legally required, which involves the breach of a legal duty to take positive action. This can take the form of either a forbearance or an omission.

For example, if a lifeguard fails to rescue a drowning person, it is considered a negative act. The lifeguard had a legal duty to take positive action to save the person, but their failure to do so resulted in harm.

Another example is if a landlord fails to repair a dangerous condition in a rental property, such as a broken staircase. The landlord has a legal duty to take positive action to ensure the safety of their tenants, but their failure to do so can result in harm and liability.

just remember how elitist law school is, especially at the higher ends. These are mostly people who have spent thousands to apply. A 165 is a fantastic score
