Assertion (A): For an Act of God to be an exception, there is to be working of the natural forces so unexpected that no human foresight or skill could reasonably be expected to anticipate it. Reason (R): It is not an absolute exception and can be overlooked.

 An act of God means an event which happens independently of human action such as death from natural causes which no human foresight or skill could reasonably be expected to anticipate. Thus, no one can be held liable for an act of god. It is an absolute exception to the liability of a person and cannot be overlooked. Thus, R is wrong. No one is responsible for inevitable accidents. When an event is caused by the effect of nature without interference from humans it can be called an act of God. Thus, R is false as act of god is an absolute exception. Legal maxim “Actus dei nemini facit injuriam” states that an act of god causes legal injury to no one. Thus, A is true.
