The courts describe this type of agreement as a meeting of the. Fraud ** is a deliberate deception intended to secure an unfair or unlawful gain. Remedies for Fraud You may **, or cancel, the contract. You may for money damages. You may also try to collect damages which is designed to punish the wrongdoer for their conduct. The Five Elements of Fraud To succeed in a lawsuit for fraud, the following five elements must be demonstrated: 1. A representation of fact. 2. of the falsity by the party making the false representation. 3. Intent to by the party making the false representation. 4. Reasonable reliance ( ) by the innocent party. 5. An actual must be suffered by the innocent party. False Representation of Fact Fraud requires a representation of a material, existing fact. A ** is one that is important; it matters to one of the parties. Under some circumstances, individuals can make false representation by choosing to reveal important information. This is known as **, or passive fraud. Representation Known to Be False To be held accountable for fraud, the party making the false representation must be that it is false. This may be shown by: proving knowledge showing the statement was made
2 False Representation Intended to Be Relied Upon To prove fraud, the person making the misrepresentation must that the other party will rely upon the information as part of the contract negotiations. False Representation Actually Relied Upon To prove fraud, the false representation must be relied upon by the other party when the agreement is made. Resulting Loss In proving fraud, the innocent party must show some loss. Innocent Misrepresentation ** is the act of making an innocent statement that turns out to be false, when the person honestly believed the statement was true at the time it was made. Remedy for Misrepresentation the right to the contract you may not damages SECTION MISTAKE, DURESS, AND UNDUE INFLUENCE Genuine Agreement In addition to fraud and misrepresentation,, duress, and undue influence can also create a defective agreement. Mistake People sometimes enter into contracts believing that certain information is when it is actually not, or that information is true when it really is. Unilateral Mistake A ** is an error on the part of of the parties to the contract. Through words or actions, one party has created reasonable on the part of the other party to the contract. Those expectations should not be blocked because one of the parties has made an, or mistake. A person usually cannot a contract because of such a mistake There are two types of unilateral mistakes. 1. Mistake as to the of the agreement 2. Mistake as to the of a party Mistake as to the Nature of the Agreement People who sign an agreement are bound to it, even if they have not it or are mistaken about what it says.
3 Mistake as to the Identity of a Party If you make an offer by letter to one party, but the wrong person mistakenly receives the offer, the mistake may be cause to the contract. If you make the same offer face-to-face with a person whose identity you have mistaken, your mistake as to the identity will prevent a binding contract. Bilateral Mistake When parties to a contract are mistaken about some important fact, this is called a **, or mutual mistake. When this mistake occurs, party may avoid the contract. There are two types of bilateral mistakes. 1. Mistake as to the possibility of 2. Mistake as to the matter Mistake as to the Possibility of Performance If parties enter into a contract believing that the duties described in the agreement can be, when in fact, they cannot, either party may avoid the contract. Mistake as to the Subject Matter parties can be mistaken as to the identity of the subject matter when they enter into a contract. The contract may be avoided by either one of the parties. Duress ** is overcoming a person s will by use of force or threat of force or bodily harm. Types of Duress Physical duress is when physical violence is used to force a person to enter a contract. Emotional duress is when the of physical force is used to force a person to enter a contract. ** is when threats to a person s business or professional reputation are used to force a party to enter a contract. Undue Influence ** occurs when a person uses unfair and improper persuasive pressure to force another person to enter into an agreement. Circumstances such as ill, old age, and mental immaturity may put a person in a weaker position.
