pl. Acta. Lat. [from agere, to do.] Done; a thing done; an act, or deed. Quodcunque scriptum sit quod actum, videatur etiam actum; whatever is written as done, (alleged in writing to be done,) shall be supposed to be actually done. Inst. 3. 21. 8. A distinction is made in the civil law between actum, and gestum; the latter term being restricted to signify a thing done without words (rem sine verbis factam.) Dig. 50. 16. 19. Actum is less used in the singular, as a substantive, than actus, (q. v.) but the plural acta (q. v.) is of frequent occurrence.
