Definition of act of the party

Definition: An act done voluntarily by a person that creates, transfers, or ends a legal right. It can be a bodily movement or an act of the mind, such as thinking.

Examples:

  • Signing a contract
  • Transferring ownership of property
  • Renouncing a claim to a legal right

These examples illustrate how a person's voluntary action can have legal consequences. By signing a contract, a person is creating a legal obligation to fulfill the terms of the agreement. By transferring ownership of property, a person is ending their legal right to that property and giving it to someone else. By renouncing a claim to a legal right, a person is voluntarily giving up their ability to pursue that right in court.
