Abstract

This paper argues that there are three separable but related dimensions that are important to the legal notion of consent. One is a consenting state of mind, the ‘going along with’ a plan of action, which may or may not be communicated or even reflected upon, but which certainly can be. A second is displaying behaviour which reveals or is an expression of consenting. Another is intentionally communicating consent. I illustrate how the communicative act is often vitally important as evidence of an underlying consenting state, but the underlying consenting state has to be postulated and brought to the fore since consensual actions (e.g. sexual intercourse) can, and more often than not do, take place without the communicative acts, and the communicative acts might for various reasons be made in the absence of the genuinely consenting state of mind. The arguments I put forward offer a reframing of cases in which an apparent intentional communication of consent was treated as consent, rather than as a piece of evidence which may or may not be indicative of a consenting state of mind. This paper emphasises that we must not allow the importance of something as evidential to eclipse the underlying phenomenon, which is itself, however hard to access otherwise, the thing of primary legal importance.

本文认为,有三个可分离但相关的维度对同意的法律概念很重要。一个是一种同意的心态,“跟随”一个行动计划,这个计划可能会也可能不会被沟通,甚至被反思,但这肯定是可以的。第二种是表现出显示或表达同意的行为。另一个是有意地表达同意。我举例说明,作为潜在的同意状态的证据,交流行为通常是至关重要的,但潜在的同意状态必须被假设和突出,因为双方同意的行为(例如性交)可以,而且往往不是这样,在没有交流行为的情况下发生,而交流行为可能出于各种原因,在缺乏真正同意的精神状态的情况下发生。我提出的论点提供了一个案例的框架,在这些案例中,一个明显的有意的同意沟通被视为同意,而不是作为一个证据,可能或可能不表明一个同意的精神状态。本文强调,我们绝不能让作为证据的事物的重要性掩盖了潜在的现象,而潜在的现象本身,无论如何难以获得,都是具有首要法律重要性的事物。
