We can't say "By consent" it doesn't mean "Willingly" am I correct?

tufguyWe can't say "By consent"
Yes, you can. You had that in your first sentence, and that was correct.
tufguyit doesn't mean "Willingly"
The meaning of 'by consent' and the meaning of 'willingly' are very similar. 'consent' usually involves being asked first. I ask you if you would lend me some money, and you can consent

Thank you CJ.

Could you please tell me one more thing "Handed over a lot of cash to him" and "Handed a lot of cash over to him" can both be used? You stroke through "Handed over him" could you please tell why is it incorrect please? Does it mean that the person was handed over to someone else?
