A quick definition of verbal act:

A verbal act is something that is done or said on purpose. It can be a physical action or just words spoken out loud. Verbal acts can have legal consequences, like when someone makes a promise or signs a contract. Verbal acts can also be used as evidence in court, like when someone repeats what another person said. Verbal acts can be important in making laws, like when a group of people vote to pass a new rule.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A verbal act is an action performed through the use of words, either spoken or written. It can also refer to a statement that has legal significance, such as the terms of a will.

Examples:

  • A person making a promise to do something
  • A witness testifying in court
  • A lawyer drafting a legal document

These examples illustrate how words can be used to perform an action or create a legal effect. For instance, when a person makes a promise, they are performing a verbal act that creates an obligation to fulfill that promise. Similarly, when a lawyer drafts a legal document, they are using words to create a legally binding agreement.
