nonfeasance

Definition

Failure to carry out an act required by law, or failure to perform a duty or satisfy an obligation, such as the timely repayment of a loan (as specified in a loan agreement). In comparison, an improper or negligent performance of a lawful act is misfeasance, and the carrying out of an unlawful act is malfeasance.
