She concludes that to have capacity to consent a complainant must understand four things: (i) the physical act; (ii) that the act is sexual in nature; (iii) the specific identity of their partner(s); and (iv) that they have the choice to refuse to participate in the sexual activity. Capacity to consent is a precondition to actual consent. The idea that incapacity “vitiates” consent does not make sense. Capacity to consent and actual consent can be considered either together or separately in any order.
