Definition of Non-Compliance
The
term non-observance comes from the Latin word inobservantia . The
notion refers to the absence of observance .
As you can
see, to understand what is non-compliance, it is essential to first define the
idea of observance. This is called the precise fulfillment of a
rule, a rule or a law
When there
is no observance, in short, the non-observance appears: the lack of due care or
attention to a regulation , a principle, a statute, etc. For
example: "The government can be sanctioned by the non-observance of
the protocol" , "The non-observance of the traffic rules
causes thousands of deaths a year" , "The Supreme Court
sanctioned the municipal authorities for the non-observance of their
obligations . "
Suppose
that, in a certain city , there is a regulation that intimates
to remove waste from homes exclusively between 19 and 20 hours . Each
neighbor, in addition, has the obligation to have a basket on the door of
his house so that the collectors remove the garbage from there. Due
to the non-observance of this regulation , however, there are people
who take out their bags in the morning, others at noon and even some who leave
the waste directly on the sidewalk and not in the corresponding
basket. These infractions cause many inconveniences and make the locality
always dirty.
Take, on the
other hand, the case of a patient who incurs the failure to comply with
the prescriptions of his doctor and ends up dying. Family members sue
the professional, who can show that he did the right thing by informing the
deceased how to take care of himself and what he had to do in the context of
his treatment . That is why the physician manages to be
acquitted, since the death of the subject was a direct consequence of his
failure to observe the instructions.
