Fraud

Fraud is normally associated with deceitfully inducing another person or entity in to entering a contract by means of false information, by withholding information or with the intention of never performing the contract. Deceit applies to any act done to induce another to alter his or her position to his injury or risk, and includes:

• Intentional misrepresentation – Asserting that something is a fact, when you know it is not true
• Negligent misrepresentation – Asserting that something is a fact when you have no grounds to believe that it is
