It is a legal maxim that finds its roots in the Latin language which means 'meeting of minds or mutual consent' i.e. each of the parties means the same thing, in the same sense and at the same time or mutual consent of the parties. Which of the following legal maxim is being referred to here?
Options:

Caveat Emptor
Correct Answer:
Assentio Mentium
Explanation:
Assentio Mentium: It is a legal maxim that finds its roots in the Latin language which means 'meeting of minds or mutual consent' i.e. each of the parties mean the same thing, in the same sense and at the same time or mutual consent of the parties.. It is synonymous with the legal term consensus ad idem.
A agreed to sell his house and B agreed to buy the same by agreeing to the terms and conditions. This implies that there was assentio mentium between both parties which makes it a valid contract.
