Definition: Dissensus is a Latin term that means disagreement. In Roman law, it refers to a lack of agreement or a mutually agreed annulment of a contractual obligation. It is the opposite of consensus, which means agreement.
Example 1: Two parties enter into a contract, but later they disagree on the terms of the contract. This disagreement is called dissensus.
Example 2: A couple gets married, but after a few years, they decide to get a divorce. The divorce is a dissensus because it is an undoing of the consensus that created the marriage.
Example 3: A group of friends plan a trip together, but one of them decides not to go. This decision creates a dissensus among the group because they no longer have a consensus on the trip.
These examples illustrate how dissensus can occur when there is a lack of agreement or when an agreement is undone. It is important to have a consensus in contracts, marriages, and group decisions to avoid dissensus.
