Elements of Proving Fraud
In order to prevail in a claim, victimized businesses must prove several elements in order to establish fraud.
These include:
- A material representation was made by the defendant;
- The material representation was false;
- The defendant knew the representation was false, or recklessly made the representation without knowledge of its truth;
- The representation was made with the intent that it would be acted upon;
- The plaintiff acted upon the misrepresentation; and
- The plaintiff suffered damages as a result.
The difficult aspect to proving fraud relates to proving the intent to mislead the other party. Because of the nuanced and difficult-to-prove nature of these cases, experienced counsel is recommended.
