Wiktionary Acquiescence is a legal term used to describe an act where a person knowingly stands by without raising any objection to the infringement of their rights, while someone else unknowingly and without malice aforethought makes a claim on their rights. Consequently, the person whose rights are infringed loses the ability to make a claim against the infringer, or succeed in an injunction suit due to the infringer s conduct. The term is most generally permission given by silence or passiveness. Acceptance or agreement by keeping quiet or by not making objections.
