Chuckles — Unjust Vexation
With the 2007 bar exams concluding yesterday, 23 September 2007, a collection of legal terms became a topic of the conversation, and one of them was Unjust Vexation.
In simple terms, it means, the hopefully soon to be lawyer said, “To annoy and irritate someone.”
I exclaimed, “But I just did that this morning! You mean annoying someone is against the law?”
Of course, it was cleared that the level of activity has to be of a certain degree for it to constitute being illegal. But now, annoying someone, which is a prevalent human activity, takes on a whole new plane of possibilities.
For more examples of unjust vexation, read a compilation of Philippine cases by Atty. Ralph A. Sarmiento
