Fraud is intentional deception that is made for personal gain or to damage someone else. Fraud is a crime and a civil law violation. Fraud may consist of intentional acts designed to deceive or to withhold information for the same purpose. There are two main types of fraud including actual fraud and constructive fraud.
Constructive fraud is a ruling that someone’s actions of lying or deceit have given them unfair advantage over someone else and that the actions should be treated the same as actual fraud. The court determines when constructive fraud has been used.
