The term is often used in trusts and loans. If you borrow money from the bank and fall behind through no fault of your own – maybe you`ve lost your job – you`re simply defaulting. Willful omission, sometimes called wilful misconduct, occurs when a party fails to do what it should or has ordered in a contract, agreement or obligation. The person who was obliged to do something – the debtor – intentionally failed in the event of an intentional omission.
