Res gestae v. Volent non fit injuria





 (i). Res gestae rule;

Res gestae rule is a rule of evidence denoting rule of relevance in which facts surrounding or accompanying or so connected with facts in issue are admissible.

(ii). Volent non fit injuria:

Volent non fit injuria is a latin maxim meaning no wrong is done to one who consents. It is voluntary assumption of risk. No act is actionable as a tort at the suit of any person who has expressly or implied assented to it. No one can enforce a right which he has voluntarily waived or abandoned. The maxim applies to e.g. intentional acts which would otherwise be tortuous e.g taking part in boxing match.
