The Doctrine of Acquiescence

The Doctrine of Acquiescence is a legal principle where a person can lose their rights to a claim if they have implicitly accepted or allowed a situation to continue without objection over time. Essentially, if someone knows about a potential infringement of their rights and doesn’t speak up or take action to challenge it, they may be seen as agreeing to it. This doctrine encourages people to be vigilant and act promptly to protect their rights, as inaction can be interpreted as acceptance.
