implied consent

Read a random definition: Speaking objection

A quick definition of implied consent:

Implied consent means that someone agrees to something without saying it directly. They might show they agree by doing something or not objecting. The person who gives consent can change their mind at any time. The person who gets the consent has to follow the rules of the consent. Implied consent can be used as a defense in some legal situations, like when someone is hurt but didn't say no to what caused the injury. It can also happen in contracts, like when someone agrees to something by doing it instead of saying yes. Sometimes, implied consent is required by law, like when someone drives a car and agrees to take a test to check if they've been drinking alcohol.

A more thorough explanation:

Implied consent is a type of agreement that is not directly and clearly given with explicit words, but rather inferred from a person's actions or circumstances. It can be withdrawn at any time and the person giving consent must have the capacity to make a valid decision.

  • If a person goes to a doctor's office and sits in the examination room, they are giving implied consent for the doctor to examine them.
  • When a person participates in a sport, they are giving implied consent to the physical contact that is customary in that sport.
  • By driving a car in a state with an "implied consent" law, a person is giving implied consent to take a chemical test to measure their blood alcohol content if they are suspected of driving under the influence.

These examples illustrate how implied consent can be given through a person's actions or circumstances, rather than through explicit words. In each case, the person is considered to have given consent by their behavior or by the situation they are in.
