| | Fraud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fraud, in addition to being a criminal act, is also a type of civil law violation known as a tort. | | | In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them — usually, to obtain property or services from him or her unjustly. | | | A civil fraud typically involves the act of making a false representation of a fact susceptible of actual knowledge which is relied upon by another person, to that person's detriment. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Fraud |
| | According to the more common view, the parties were guilty of fraud by the very fact of leaving the parish with the intention of contracting marriage without the assistance of the parish priest, whose right and duty it was to testify to the valid celebration of marriage of his parishineers. | | | Fraud is something which militates not only against sincerity and straightforward conduct, but against justice, and justice is due even to enemies. | | | If the fraud was committed by a third person without the connivance of the other party to the contract, there will be no reason for annulling it. |

| | "Fraud, To Defraud" Defined & Explained |
| | Fraud, which may be collected and inferred in the consideration of a court of equity, from the nature and circumstances of the transaction, as being an imposition and deceit on other persons, not parties to the fraudulent agreement; | | | Fraud avoids a contract, ab initio, both at law and in equity, whether the object be to deceive the public, third persons or one party endeavor thereby to cheat the other. | | | Fraud gives no action however, without damage and in matters of contract it is merely a defence; it cannot in any case constitute a new contract. |

| | fraud - Columbia Encyclopedia® article about fraud |
| | Actual fraud can never be the result of accident or negligence negligence, in law, especially tort law, the breach of an obligation (duty) to act with care, or the failure to act as a reasonable and prudent person would under similar circumstances. | | | The remedy granted to the plaintiff in most cases is either compensatory (and possibly punitive) damages damages, money award that the judgment of a court requires the defendant in a suit to pay to the plaintiff as compensation for the loss or injury inflicted. | | | The offense, generally only a tort tort, in law, the violation of some duty clearly set by law, not by a specific agreement between two parties, as in breach of contract. |
