Actus reus(United Kingdom) A guilty deed or act.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Guilty
The state or condition of a person who has committed a crime, misdemeanor or offence. This word implies a malicious intent, and must be applied to something universally allowed to be a crime.
Deed
Only in relatively rare circumstances is a deed required to complete a transaction. In a commercial situation the most common use is where a variation or concession is made without the other party giving anything in return. A deed is enforceable regardless of the legal requirements for contracts such as the need for consideration. Where a deed is necessary, there are special requirements for a company wishing to enter into such an arrangement which may either involve use of the company or the signature of two directors or a director and a company secretary.
Act
1) Civil law, contracts. A writing which states in a legal form that a thing has been said, done, or agreed. 2) Evidence. The act of one of several conspirators, performed inpursuance of the common design, is evidence against all of them.
