Legal Terms - Affirm
affirm (verb) 1. To validate a legal ruling, specifically (of an appellate court), to affirm a verdict issued in a lower court. 2. To make a solemn commitment to truthfully provide evidence or make a sworn statement known as an affidavit. Beneath
According to the Oaths Act of 1978, individuals who have objections to taking an oath or for whom it is not feasible to administer an oath may choose to affirm instead. An affirmation carries the same legal consequences as the act of taking an oath. 3. In order to consider a contract as still valid, rather than canceling it due to misrepresentation or other reasons (as in the case of a voidable contract) or considering it terminated due to repudiation or breach (as in the case of a breach of contract). Affirmation is only effective when it occurs with complete awareness of the facts. The manifestation of a desire to proceed with a contract can be done explicitly or implicitly through activity. For instance, if a party tries to sell items that were given under a contract that can be voided due to misrepresentation. Failure to seek a remedy within a certain period of time might be considered as evidence of agreement or acceptance, as established in the case of Clough v London and North Western Railway Co (1871) LR 7 Exch 26.
