A quick definition of actus animi:

Term: ACTUS ANIMI

Definition: Actus animi is a Latin term that means an act of the mind or intention. It refers to the mental state of a person when they make a decision or enter into a contract. For example, when someone agrees to buy something, they have the actus animi or intention to purchase it. This concept is important in law because it helps to determine whether a contract is valid or not.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Actus animi (ak-tus an-uh-mee) is a Latin term used in law to refer to an act of the mind or intention.

Example: Consent is an actus animi, which means that it is an essential element of all contracts. In cases where the contract appears to be regular, consent is presumed.

Explanation: This means that when two parties enter into a contract, they must both have the intention or act of the mind to agree to the terms of the contract. Without this intention, the contract is not valid. The example given shows that consent is an actus animi because it is a mental process that is necessary for a contract to be legally binding.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
