Fraud involves a deliberate misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact made to gain an unfair advantage.
Misrepresentation occurs when a false statement or omission induces another party to sign or act to their detriment.
Fraud is a deceptive act intended to secure an unlawful gain, while misrepresentation is a false statement or omission that leads another party to enter an agreement. Both can give rise to remedies including damages, rescission, and injunctive relief.
To prove fraud or misrepresentation, a plaintiff must show a false statement, knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard, intent to mislead, reliance by the other party, and resulting damages. The process typically includes fact gathering, evidence review, client interviews, negotiation, and litigation or settlement.
