Malfeasance
Doing an act, which is illegal and wrongful. If a person omits to do something which he ought to do, then it is non-feasance, whereas doing a lawful act in an unlawful and improper way, so as to cause harm to another is misfeasance. Misfeasance happens due to carelessness or negligence, but malfeasance is done with the intention to cause harm.
