(bouvier) | AFFIRMANCE. The confirmation of a voidable act; as, for example, when an

attaining his full age, he gives his affirmance to it, he will thereafter be
bound, as if it had been made when of full age. 10 N. H. Rep. 194.
2. To be binding upon the infant, the affirmance must be made after
arriving of age, with a full knowledge that it would be void without such
confirmation. 11 S. & R. 305.
3. An affirmance may be express, that is, where the party declares his
determination of fulfilling the contract; but a more acknowledgment is not
sufficient. Dudl. R, 203. Or it may be implied, as, for example, where an
infant mortgaged his land and, at full age, conveyed it, subject to the
mortgage. 15 Mass. 220. See 10 N. H. Rep. 561.
|
AFFIRMANCE-DAY
(bouvier) | AFFIRMANCE-DAY, GENERAL. In the English Court of Exchequer, is a day
appointed by the judges of the common pleas, and barons of the exchequer, to
be held a few days after the beginning of every term for the general
affirmance or reversal of judgments. 2 Tidd. 1091.
|
AFFIRMANT
(bouvier) | AFFIRMANT, practice. One who makes affirmation instead of making oath that
the evidence which he is about to give shall be the truth, as if he had been
sworn. He is liable to all the pains and penalty of perjury, if he shall be
guilty of willfully and maliciously violating his affirmation.
|
AFFIRMATION
(bouvier) | AFFIRMATION, practice. A solemn declaration and asseveration, which a
witness makes before an officer, competent to administer an oath in a like
case, to tell the truth, as if be had been sworn.
2. In the United States, generally, all witnesses who declare
themselves conscientiously scrupulous against taking a corporal oath, are
permitted to make a solemn affirmation, and this in all cases, as well
criminal as civil.
3. In England, laws have been enacted which partially relieve persons
who, have conscientious scruples against taking an oath, and authorize them
to make affirmation. In France, the laws which allow freedom of religious
opinion, have received the liberal construction that all persons are to be
sworn or affirmed according to the dictates of their consciences; and a
quaker's affirmation has been received and held of the same effect as an
oath. Merl. Quest. de Droit, mot Serment, Sec. 1.
4. The form is to this effect: "You, A B, do solemnly, sincerely, and
truly declare and affirm," &c. For the violation of the truth in such case,
the witness is subject to the punishment of perjury as if he had been sworn.
5. Affirmation also means confirming; as, an affirmative statute.
|
AFFIRMATIVE
(bouvier) | AFFIRMATIVE. Averring a fact to be true; that which is opposed to negative.
(q.v.)
2. It is a general rule of evidence that the affirmative of the issue
must be proved. Bull. N. P. 298 ; Peake, Ev. 2.
3. But when the law requires a person to do an act, and the neglect of
it, will render him guilty and punishable, the negative must be proved,
because every man is presumed to do his duty and in that case they who
affirm he did not, must prove it. B. N. P. 298; 1 Roll. R. 83; Comb. 57; 3
B.& P. 307; 1 Mass. R. 56.
|
AFFIRMATIVE PREGNANT
(bouvier) | AFFIRMATIVE PREGNANT, Pleading. An affirmative allegation, implying some
negative, in favor of the adverse party, for example, if to an action of
assumpsit, which is barred by the act of limitations of six years, the
defendant pleads that be did not undertake &c. within ten years; a
replication that he did undertake, &c. within ten years, would be an
affirmative pregnant; since it would impliedly admit that the defendant had
not promised within six years. As no proper issue could be tendered upon
such plea the plaintiff should, for that reason, demur to it. Gould, Pl. c.
6 29, 37; Steph. Pl. 381; Lawes, Civ. Pl. 113; Bac. Ab. Pleas, N 6.
|
DISAFFIRMANC
(bouvier) | DISAFFIRMANCE. The act by which a person who has entered into a voidable
contract; as, for example, an infant, does disagree to such contract, and
declares he will not abide by it.
2. Disaffirmance is express or implied. The former, when the
declaration is made in terms that the party will not abide by the contract.
The latter, when he does an act which plainly manifests his determination
not to abide by it; as, where an infant made a deed for his land, and, on
coming of age, be made a deed for the same land to another. 2 Dev. & Bat.
320; 10 Pet. 58; 13 Mass. 371, 375.
|
TO AFFIRM
(bouvier) | TO AFFIRM, practice. 1. To ratify or confirm a former law or judgment, as
when the supreme court affirms the judgment of the court of common pleas.
2. To make an affirmation, or to testify under an affirmation.
