This article (act) needs attention because:
Mixed DefinedMeanings, 1) Something done voluntarily by a person, and of such a nature that certain legal consequences attach to it. 2) Documents, decrees, edicts, laws, judgments, etc. (Source: WESTS)
It has been added to this category for attention. Thank you for your patience.


I have started to divide up the two Definitions, but since I am not qualified to judge which synonyms/translations belong to which DM (and since many of them are in fact list of Expressions), I have left them all at the first DM. To mark this, I have left the 1)/2) in place in the Definitions. --Sannab 12:16, 4 August 2006 (CEST)

[edit] Both DM's are lacking

In addition to the points above, there is something wrong with both DM's, IMO. DM1 states that the act must be voluntary. This is simply not true; if I kill someone while at gunpoint, it's still an act of murder. I propose this part is scrapped from the DM. DM2 is currently just a list of examples of acts; however, wouldn't something like "an official document with legal status" be better, with the mentioned documents as narrower concepts?
