Many times people put their trust in business in someone else only to later be disappointed. They may feel cheated and tell friends they have been defrauded. The law does not consider every transaction that does not work out to necessarily give the basis for a disappointed person to sue the other party. To pursue a fraud claim there must be certain specific types of proof met. There is more than one way a person can be defrauded. A common type of fraud is through the use of untrue representations. A person who wants to pursue a claim for being defrauded through an untrue representation must meet applicable standards for doing so under the law of the appropriate jurisdiction. This means that person may have to have facts to support his or her allegations and meet all of the elements of fraud by untrue representation required in the jurisdiction. While each jurisdiction may have its own requirements a party who feels defrauded by an untrue representation should review his or her fact situation to see if the following elements are present in his or her fact situation.
- Did the other party make representations to you?
- Were the representations untrue?
- Were the untrue representations as to a past and present fact?
- Were the untrue representations of material importance?
- Were the representations susceptible of knowledge?
- Did the person making the untrue representation know them to be untrue or assert them as his or her own knowledge without knowing them to be true or false?
- Were you induced to act on the untrue representations?
- Did you act in reliance upon the untrue representations?
- Did you suffer damage by the untrue representations?
- Was the damage suffered caused by the untrue representations?
