A plaintiff otherwise entitled to tort recovery may be denied it on the ground of voluntary assumption of risk. In other words, if volenti non fit injuria or consent is present, an action for negligence will fail, just as it does in the intentional tort area. This is so because "no act is actionable as a tort at the suit of any person who has expressly or impliedly assented to it".  3, record 1, English, - voluntary%20assumption%20of%20risk

Le demandeur qui aurait par ailleurs le droit de recouvrer des dommages-intérêts peut perdre ce droit s'il y a acceptation volontaire du risque. En d'autres termes, s'il y a volenti non fit injuria, c'est-à-dire consentement, l'action en dommages-intérêts sera rejetée au même titre que lorsqu'il y a délit intentionnel. Il en est ainsi parce que "nul ne peut poursuivre l'auteur d'un délit s'il a expressément ou implicitement consenti à ce qu'il commette l'acte qui constitue le délit".  4, record 1, French, - acceptation%20volontaire%20du%20risque

... there are cases in which behaviour is actionable as a tort, although it has been the cause of no damage at all(injuria sine damno). Torts are of two kinds-namely, those which are actionable per se, and those which are actionable only on proof of actual damage resulting from them.  2, record 4, English, - injuria%20absque%20damno

In insurance it is most commonly met in connection with domestic animals. If the animal is normally very tame and docile, the owner has the right to assume that it will not suddenly become dangerous. If however, the owner has knowledge of will tendencies in the animal, he is obliged to protect others from injury and is liable in negligence for his failure to do so. From this comes the frequent reference that "a dog is entitled to one bite".  1, record 7, English, - scienter%20non%20fit%20injuria
