Fraud involves intentional deceit for financial gain. It can be subtle or overt and may occur in contracts, disclosures, or communications.
Misrepresentation occurs when a false statement or omission influences a contract or business decision. It can be intentional or negligent.
Proving fraud typically requires showing a false statement of material fact, reliance, causation, and damages.
Remedies can include damages, contract rescission, restitution, and, where appropriate, injunctive relief.

Damages may include compensatory, consequential, and incidental costs, plus interest and legal fees where allowed.
