Legal Definitions - a confectione

The Latin term a confectione translates to "from the making" or "from the creation." In a legal context, it refers to something that arises, originates, or takes effect directly from the act of creating, preparing, or forming something.

Here are some examples to illustrate this concept:

• Copyright Protection: When an artist paints an original artwork, copyright protection for that painting arises a confectione – directly from the act of creating the artwork itself. The artist doesn't need to register it immediately for basic protection to exist; the rights are inherent from the moment of its creation.

  This illustrates how legal rights, specifically copyright, come into being as a direct consequence of the act of making or producing a creative work.

• Contractual Obligations: Imagine two individuals verbally agree to exchange services, such as one person agreeing to design a website for another in exchange for a specific payment. The legal obligations and terms of their agreement can arise a confectione – from the making of that verbal agreement. Even without a formal written document, the act of reaching a mutual understanding and commitment can create a binding contract.

  This demonstrates that legal duties and responsibilities can originate directly from the act of forming an agreement, whether written or spoken.

• Product Liability: If a company manufactures a batch of electronic devices, and due to a flaw in the assembly line, some devices are produced with a dangerous defect. The potential for product liability claims against the manufacturer arises a confectione – from the making of those defective products. The legal responsibility for harm caused by the defect stems directly from the manufacturing process that created the flawed item.

  This example shows how legal accountability, such as liability for a defective product, can be directly linked to the act of producing or manufacturing something in a faulty manner.
