In the law of evidence, an implied assertion is a statement or conduct that infers some fact. There is varying opinion of whether hearsay evidence of implied assertions should be admissible in court to prove the truth of its contents. While they are considered hearsay, they are generally considered more reliable that regular statements as they are far less easy to fabricate.
