A fraud is a false representation of a matter of fact which is intended to deceive another.
To prove fraud in court, a victim must prove each of the "five fingers of fraud":[1]
- a person made a material false statement
- he knew the statement was false
- he intended to deceive the victim
- the victim justifiably relied on the false statement
- the victim was damaged
