Consent Doctrine

The Consent Doctrine refers to a legal principle stating that individuals can give permission for certain actions to be performed, which can then limit their ability to claim harm or seek legal recourse afterward. For example, if someone agrees to participate in a sport, they may not hold organizers liable for certain injuries since they consented to the activity's risks. This concept emphasizes the importance of informed consent and personal responsibility, balancing the rights of individuals with the necessity of allowing certain activities to occur without fear of litigation.
