What is civil fraud?
Civil fraud refers to fraudulent misrepresentation, concealment, or dishonest conduct that causes financial loss. Unlike criminal fraud, which involves prosecution by the state, civil fraud is pursued in the courts by the victim seeking remedies such as damages, restitution, or injunctions.
Typical cases include false statements, forged documents, or deliberate concealment of material facts in business or financial dealings.
