Permission
Per`mis´sion
PERMISSION. A license to do a thing; an authority to do an act which without
such authority would have been unlawful. A permission differs from a law, it
is a cheek upon the operations of the law.
2. Permissions are express or implied. 1. Express permissions derogate
from something which before was forbidden, and may operate in favor of one
or more persons, or for the performance of one or more acts, or for a longer
or shorter time. 2. Implied, are those, which arise from the fact that the
law has not forbidden the act to be done. 3. But although permissions do not
operate as laws, in respect of those persons in whose favor they are
granted; yet they are laws as to others. See License.
