Legal Terms - Acquiescence
Acquiescence is the act of giving consent, either explicitly or implicitly. When it comes to the law, it is important to differentiate between having awareness about a situation and actively giving approval to it. For instance, when defending the principle of *volenti non fit injuria, it is established that an injured individual cannot be considered to have given consent to a risk solely based on their awareness of its existence (Smith v Baker & Sons [1891] AC 325 (HL)).
