The coverage does this
by treating a «
dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious» act of either the insured or of others for whose actions the insured might be liable (for example, under the doctrine of vicarious liability) as an «error,
omission or negligent act» as described in the policy.
Such misconduct (
by commission or
omission) demands we advise the conduct is
dishonest, illegal, or fraudulent, report up the ladder, and withdraw.
