Willfully is a legal term which refers to an act that was done intentionally and deliberately, with knowledge of its consequences. It is used to describe a conscious, knowing, and voluntary act, and is often used when determining whether an individual has committed a crime or breach of contract. There are two types of willfulness: general willfulness and specific willfulness. General willfulness refers to an act that was done with knowledge of its consequences or with the intent to carry out the act. Specific willfulness is when an act is done with an intention to harm or cause injury, or with a reckless disregard for the consequences. Willful conduct is also used to determine civil liability, meaning a person may be held responsible for damages if they are found to have acted willfully. In civil cases, willful conduct is often determined on a case-by-case basis.
