external act

Read a random definition: ALAI

A quick definition of external act:

An external act is something that a person does, like moving their body or speaking. It can be intentional, meaning they meant to do it, or unintentional, meaning it happened by accident. External acts can have legal consequences, like when someone breaks a law or signs a contract. They are different from internal acts, which are things that happen in a person's mind, like thinking or feeling.

A more thorough explanation:

An external act is a voluntary or involuntary bodily movement that results from a person's will being exerted on the external world. It is something that a person does or performs, such as speaking or writing. An external act can be intentional or unintentional, and it can be subject to legal consequences.

For example, if someone intentionally hits another person, that is an external act that can be considered assault. If someone accidentally knocks over a vase, that is also an external act, but it is not considered a legal offense.

Another example of an external act is signing a contract. This is a voluntary bodily movement that results in a legal agreement between two parties. The act of signing the contract is an external manifestation of the person's will to enter into the agreement.
