negotiorum gestor

Read a random definition: plowland

A quick definition of negotiorum gestor:

Negotiorum gestor is a Latin term that means "a manager of another's affairs." In Roman and civil law, it refers to a person who acts without authority to protect another person's interests, in the reasonable belief that the owner would approve the action if made aware of the circumstances. The actor has a claim to be compensated by the owner for the trouble taken, and the owner has a claim for any loss that results from the negotiorum gestor's fault. It is a quasi-contractual situation in which an actor manages or interferes in the business transaction of another person in that person's absence, without authority but out of concern or friendship. By such conduct, the actor is bound to conduct the matter to a conclusion and to deliver the transaction's proceeds to the person, who likewise must reimburse the actor for any expenses incurred. A negotiorum gestio does not exist if the gestor acted self-interestedly or if the owner expressly forbade the gestor from acting on the owner's behalf.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A negotiorum gestor is a person who acts without authority to protect another person's interests, in the reasonable belief that the owner would approve the action if made aware of the circumstances. This term comes from Roman and civil law.

For example, if a person sees a house on fire and enters it to save the owner's property, they are acting as a negotiorum gestor. They are not authorized to do so, but they are doing it out of concern for the owner's property. If the owner later approves of their actions, the negotiorum gestor can claim compensation for their trouble, and the owner can claim for any loss that results from the gestor's fault.

A negotiorum gestio is a quasi-contractual situation in which an actor (negotiorum gestor) manages or interferes in the business transaction of another person (dominus negotii) in that person's absence, without authority but out of concern or friendship. By such conduct, the actor is bound to conduct the matter to a conclusion and to deliver the transaction's proceeds to the person, who likewise must reimburse the actor for any expenses incurred. A negotiorum gestio does not exist if the gestor acted self-interestedly or if the owner expressly forbade the gestor from acting on the owner's behalf.

Overall, a negotiorum gestor is someone who acts in good faith to protect another person's interests, even if they do not have explicit authorization to do so. They can be compensated for their trouble, but they are also responsible for any mistakes or faults that occur as a result of their actions.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

My wife and I have great and open communication but one night she kept asking me why this girl is blowing up my phone with messages/pictures so I showed her... she got a new puppy and got drunk so had her puppy doing a fashion shoot at 11pm.

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:20
Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV
babycat
15:20
I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe
babycat
15:21
Ugh I need to go work on essays bye folks
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:22
I don't do anything I can be blackmailed with, I like money too much to be sketch. Have fun doing your essays and a good weekend
15:23
don't have the motivation to work on essays

I got to work on essays for finals but I'm like that is a next week me problem. I am glad to be done with LS ones. I felt weird talking about myself
