Implication - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition implication

Definition :

Implication, a necessary or presumable inference, not directly declared, arising out of acts or words in evidence (see Jarman or Theobald on Wills). Many implications are statutory. See, e.g., Sale of Goods Act, 1893, the terms implied in a contact for work and labour, and materials supplied are the same as upon a sale of goods under s. 14 of the (English) Sale of Goods Act, 1893 [Myers & Co. v. Brent Cross Service Co., (1934) 1 KB 46]; (English) Law of Property Act, 1925 (implied covenants). An implication may be removed by express words supplying the agreed meaning which would otherwise have been left to inference. See the maxim: EXPRESSIO UNIUS EST EXCLUSIO ALTERIUS.

Means (1) the act of showing involvement in some-thing, esp., a crime or misfeasance (2) An inference drawn from something said or observed, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 757.
