Nonfeasance
Failure to perform an act that should have been performed is called "nonfeasance." This term is often used in legal contexts to describe a situation where an individual or entity fails to take action when there is a duty to do so, potentially leading to harm or damage. Nonfeasance can result in liability if it is determined that the failure to act was negligent or breached a duty of care.
An act of omission refers to a failure to take action when there is a legal duty to do so, resulting in harm or potential harm to others. For example, if a caregiver neglects to provide necessary medical care to a dependent, it may constitute an act of omission. The punishment for such actions can vary widely based on the jurisdiction and the severity of the harm caused, potentially leading to civil penalties, fines, or even criminal charges, such as negligence or manslaughter in extreme cases.

Failure to Pay.
An interesting and 'dicey' question. Although the law, in some instances, may excuse someone who, without criminal intent or interest in the offense, who simply stands by mute, is not accountable for the crime. However - SOME jurisdictions DO criminalize the act by statute, by charging such persons for failing to notify the authorities of their knowledge of an impending criminal event. The theory, no doubt, being that ANY honest citizen would WANT to notify law enforcement of a potential criminal act about to be committed.
