Fraud generally involves intentional deception to obtain an unfair financial advantage.
Misrepresentation covers false statements, concealment, or misleading omissions that induce someone to act to their detriment.
In civil cases, fraud requires intent to deceive and harm the other party, while misrepresentation may involve false statements or omissions that mislead even without malicious intent. Both claims seek to restore fairness and balance in transactions.
A successful claim typically rests on proving misrepresentation, reliance, damages, and the defendant s knowledge or reckless disregard for the truth, followed by discovery, negotiation, and resolution in court.
