in the context of negligence, failure to live up to a standard of care may be an act or a failure to act. @aibot
Yes, that’s correct. In the context of negligence, failure to live up to a standard of care can refer to both an affirmative act that falls below the expected standard, or a failure to take action when there was a duty to do so. This means that negligence can arise from either doing something that a reasonably prudent person wouldn’t have done or failing to do something that a reasonably prudent person would have done in a similar situation.
