levis culpa

Read a random definition: in commendam

A quick definition of levis culpa:

Levis culpa: A Latin term that means "slight fault" or "ordinary negligence". It refers to conduct that falls short of what an ideal person should do, but is not as serious as gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing. In legal terms, levis culpa may make a person liable for unintentional harm caused to another party.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Levis culpa is a Latin term that refers to slight fault or ordinary negligence. It is a type of unintentional wrong that can make a party to a contract or quasi-contract liable to the other party.

Examples:

  • Levis culpa can occur when a driver fails to signal before changing lanes and causes an accident.
  • In a bailment agreement, levis culpa can occur if the bailee fails to take reasonable care of the bailed property.
  • Levis culpa can also occur when a doctor fails to provide the level of care that an ideal paterfamilias (a Roman term for a responsible head of household) would provide.

These examples illustrate how levis culpa can result from a failure to act with reasonable care or to meet a certain standard of conduct. While levis culpa is not as serious as gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing, it can still result in liability for the responsible party.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
