alleged omission Explanation: You are right about "alleged" because this appears to be a charge against the party concerned, but the legal term would be "omission" rather than carelessness, in that it is considered a neglect of duty. Omission (law) An omission is a failure to act, which generally attracts different legal consequences from positive conduct. In the criminal law, an omission will constitute an actus reus and give rise to liability only when the law imposes a duty to act and the defendant is in breach of that duty. In tort law, similarly, liability will be imposed for an omission only exceptionally, when it can be established that the defendant was under a duty to act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_(law) |
