Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assumption of risk is to a negligence claim as incapacity is to contract formation. Assumption of risk is a defense to negligence, and incapacity is a defense to contract formation. Answer A is not correct because a trustor is a person who creates a trust-the relationship does not involve a defense. Answer B is not correct because mens rea (intent) and actus reus (a voluntary act) are related as the two states that must co-exist in a defendant at the same time for an act to be a crime. Answer D is not correct because legislation is a term that refers to a different or prior version of statutory law-that is, a proposed statutory law.
