UNLOCKING THE POWER OF CONSENT: FROM CONTACTS TO HEALTHCARE AND BEYOND!
In this episode of LAWBY PODCAST, Let’s look into the legal interpretations of consent. Consent, which in simple terms, means giving consent to a person for the performance of an act at one’s own will. It means that a person freely and willingly agrees to another person’s proposition. The person giving their consent must be of sound mind. Consent also necessitates the absence of compulsion, deception, or error. Consent is a fundamental component of a contract and a tort defence. If someone is under duress or terror, their permission is not their actual purpose in circumstances of rape and sexual assault.In the medical field, informed consent means an agreement, compliance or permission given voluntarily without any compulsion.
