as a consequence of which another suffers a loss.

Juristic act: - correct answer A human act to which the law attaches at least
some of the consequences desired by the party or parties performing the act.
The distinction between a void and a voidable juristic act is important. A void juristic act is void ab initio
and devoid of all legal consequences. The position is simply as if the juristic act had never taken place. A
voidable juristic act, on the other hand, is valid and has all the usual legal consequences until it is nulli ed
or set aside (e.g. by a party to the contract or a third party). It differs from a valid juristic act in that it has
some or other defect that might lead to its nulli cation, but does not render the juristic act void from the
outset.
