Details | Volenti–non–fit injuria is a popular Latin term, for "to a willing/consenting person, no injury is done." This doctrine connotes that a person who knowingly and willingly puts himself in a dangerous situation cannot sue for any resulting injuries. It is a strong defence in various legal systems/traditions that means where a person engages in an event accepting and aware of the risks inherent in that event, then they can not later complain of, or seek compensation for an injury suffered during the event. |
