implied intent

Read a random definition: affeeror

A quick definition of implied intent:

Implied intent means what someone meant to do, even if they didn't say it out loud. It can be figured out from what they said or did. For example, if someone takes something that doesn't belong to them and doesn't give it back, it can be assumed that they meant to keep it. Implied intent can also be used in legal situations to figure out if someone did something on purpose or not.

A more thorough explanation:

Implied intent refers to a person's state of mind that can be inferred from their speech or conduct, or from language used in a legal document they are a party to. It is the mental resolution or determination to do an act, especially a forbidden act, that can be inferred from their behavior.

For example, if someone is caught stealing, their implied intent to take something that does not belong to them can be inferred from their actions. Similarly, if a person signs a contract, their implied intent to be bound by the terms of the contract can be inferred from their signature.

Implied intent can also be used in criminal law to establish guilt. If a person's actions could have reasonably been expected to cause a certain result, their implied intent to cause that result can be presumed. This is known as constructive intent.

Overall, implied intent is a way to determine a person's state of mind based on their behavior or language, rather than relying solely on their explicit statements or admissions.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
