Groupon was launched in November 2008. It grew out of another initiative called The Point, a website launched in November 2007 that lets you start a campaign asking people to give money or do something as a group â but only once a tipping point of people agree to participate. See Groupon's about page for more details: http://www.groupon.com/about.
Nonfeasance is a term used in tort law to describe inaction that allows or results in harm to a person or to property. An act of nonfeasance can result in liability if (1) the actor owed a duty of care toward the injured person, (2) the actor failed to act on that duty, and (3) the failure to act resulted in injury.n theory nonfeasance is distinct from misfeasance and malfeasance. Malfeasance is any act that is illegal or wrongful. Misfeasance is an act that is legal but improperly performed. Nonfeasance, by contrast, is a failure to act that results in harm.
Nonfeasance is different than malfeasance, which is the undertaking of an illegal or wrongful act. It also difference from misfeasance, which is legal action performed improperly. While nonfeasance â the absence of action to help prevent harm or damage â was not originally subject to penalty of law, legal reforms evolved to make it possible for courts to use the term to describe inaction which assigns liability.
