Hudson v. Craft

Hudson v. Craft

"Hudson v. Craft" (1949 33 Cal.2d 654, 33 Cal.2d 654) is a United States court case defining how the court defines consent as a defense to an intentional harm.

Facts of the Case

An 18-year-old boxer entered an unregulated and unlicenced prize fight. He was injured in the fight and he held the promoter liable for his injuries.

Ruling

The central holding was that an individual cannot consent to an illegal act. Therefore, regardless of whether or not the two individual fighters consented, the promoter could still be held liable for damages.

The court did not make a direct ruling to the suit between the two boxers.
