Definition of legal act

A legal act is any action or undertaking that is not considered illegal. For example, a surgeon's incision during a surgery is a legal act, while stabbing someone is an illegal act.

Legal acts can also create legally recognized obligations, meaning they bind a person in some way. For instance, signing a contract is a legal act that creates an obligation for the signer to fulfill the terms of the contract.

In Roman law, a lunatic was considered incapable of any legal act, even if they were capable of holding property.

Overall, a legal act is any action that is not prohibited by law and can create legal obligations for the parties involved.
