opzet
"Aansprakelijkheid. De cliënt aanvaardt dat de vergoeding van de schade die hij/zij lijdt door een beroepsfout van het advocatenkantoor beperkt wordt tot het bedrag waarvoor het advocatenkantoor verzekerd is, meer bepaald tot xxx € per schadegeval per jaar. Deze beperking is niet van toepassing in geval van opzet."
opzet (De Valks jur. woordenboek):
modaliteit van het moreel bestanddeel van het misdrijf bestaande in het wetens en willens doen wat door de strafwet verboden is of nalaten wat de strafwet gebiedt.
intent, intention, intentional act, mens rea, fraud,...?
Can you help me on deciding which is the right term to use here? I would go for "intention" but am not sure; "fraud" sounds much better in the sentence but am not sure it isn't too narrow a term to be used for "opzet".
TIA for your suggestions.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

(You must be right. I get zero hits on Google for "ignorant unidiomatic legal".)
| Thanks for your answer. I chose to use 'wilful misconduct' in the end. |

: This term often appears together with 'grove schuld' (as in: opzet of grove schuld > wilful misconduct or gross neglicence).

It's an everyday term basically. That's why I voted it non-pro. It shouldn't be presenting a problem.
