Simple English definitions for legal terms

deviation

Read a random definition: General Accounting Office

A quick definition of deviation:

Deviation means doing something different from what was agreed upon or expected. It can happen when someone changes their usual way of doing things, like when an employee leaves work to take care of something personal. In insurance, deviation means taking a risk that is not normal or expected, which can affect the coverage you get. In maritime law, deviation happens when a ship does not follow the agreed-upon route or terms of a contract. If the deviation is reasonable, it is allowed, but if it is not, it can cause problems for the carrier.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Deviation refers to a change from a usual or agreed-upon course of action.

Examples:

  • When an employee leaves work to attend to a personal matter, it is considered a deviation from their course of employment.
  • If an insured party takes actions that increase the risk of loss, it is considered a deviation from their routine course of action.
  • In maritime law, a deviation occurs when a carrier violates the terms of a transportation contract, such as taking an indirect route or stowing cargo on deck without permission.

These examples illustrate how deviation can occur in different contexts, such as employment, insurance, and transportation. Deviation can have legal implications, such as affecting workers' compensation or tort liability, and can also impact insurance coverage and carrier limitations and exemptions.
