ACT, civil law, contracts. A writing that declares in a legal form that something has been said, done or agreed. In Latin: Instrumentum. Merl. The first category is known as “act in public form” (Fr acte en minute, Du minuutakte, It atto conservato, Ger urschrift, Sp acta protocolar) and is reserved for notaries. Public acts may take the form of a recording of an activity that is intended or required to have probative value, legal or administrative force or effect, or commercial effect. Deeds in this form remain the cornerstone of civil notarial practice, according to which they are written as individual narrative instruments from the perspective of the notary in the first person. Public instruments include all contracts and instruments of disposition (e.g. transfer, will, trust, power of attorney, gift). Traditionally, in civil law countries, preliminary drafts, called “protocols” (formerly protocols; Fr minute, Du minuut, It minuta, Ger Urschrift, Sp escritura matriz), are written in legal shorthand and note only the details.
The date, date of publication, place and object are recorded in a notarial register, and the minutes are kept and kept in the notarial deed (archive), while the person who appears receives a deepening (Fr/Du grosse, It spedizione in forma esecutiva, Ger Ausfertigung, Sp primer testimonio), a form completely extended in a long hand under seal and signature. The protocol is then used as an example of a copy from which examples (Fr expedition, It spedizione, Sp testimonio ulterio, copia simple, Du authentiek afschrift, uitgifte, Ger beschaßte Abschrift), i.e. detailed exact copies, can be made. In common law countries, notaries create several originals that are fully signed and sealed, as a copy would not be admissible in court. One is archived as a file copy in the notarized protocol. The duty to act is a legal obligation that obliges a party to take the necessary measures to prevent harm to another person or the general public. In personal injury law, a person may be held to an appropriate standard of care to prevent injury or harm. An action is an instrument that records a fact or something that has been said, done or agreed.
[1] Acts generally take the form of legal instruments with probative and enforceable force. They are generally accepted as evidence of self-certification in court proceedings, although this is not always the case with the precarious status of notaries and their common law actions. The second category is known as the “private deed” (Fr acte en brevet, akte in originali, It atto rilasciato in originale, Ger deed in original, Sp acta extraprotocolar), which is best represented by the notarial deed (or “docquet” in Scotland). It is usually a document that confirms the proper execution of a deed, contract or other letter in the presence of the notary or that confirms a fact or thing of which the notary has some knowledge. Notarial acts are endorsed or attached to an existing document and certify its proper execution, authenticity and validity or its legal status and effects. For security reasons, the certificate may also contain information such as the number of pages, a description of the document, its title, and other distinguishing features to prevent pages from being added or removed. If attached, abbreviated certificates may also be marked with a seal half on the certificate and half on the rest of the page. An act in the legal sense refers either to voluntary physical exercise or to a term designating a law or a bill. ACT.
