Fraud in a business contract generally means a false statement of fact that another party relies on when entering into an agreement. Civil remedies may include damages or rescission depending on the circumstances and the impact on the contract.
In California, fraud claims typically have a statute of limitations that varies by claim and jurisdiction. Consult an attorney to determine the deadline for your case and to avoid waiving rights.
Damages may include compensatory damages for actual losses and, in some cases, punitive damages. Additionally, you may pursue restitution or injunctive relief to prevent ongoing harm.
Intent to defraud can be shown by deliberate misrepresentation, concealment, or knowingly false statements. In some cases, inability to prove intent does not bar a claim if misrepresentation caused damages.
