Recklessness
Recklessness legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Recklessness is consciously taking of an unjustifiable risk, whereas negligence is the inadvertently taking of an unjustifiable risk
If a person was aware of the risk and decided to take it, he was reckless and if he was unaware of the risk but ought to have been aware of it, he was negligent
Negligence and recklessness both, in a general sense, are same species
While rashness is acting in the hope that no mischievous consequences will ensue though aware of the likelihood of such consequences, negligence is acting without the awareness that harmful or mischievous consequences will follow
Reasonable foresight is the criterion to determine whether the act was rash or negligent.
