Toronto Civil Fraud Lawyers

Civil fraud can affect both individuals and companies and consists of a wide variety of wrongdoing that can have a significant financial impact on an individual or organization. In order to establish the tort (i.e. wrong) of civil fraud, the plaintiff (i.e. person bringing the claim) must establish that:

1. A false representation was made by the defendant (i.e. the alleged wrongdoer)
2. The defendant had some level of knowledge of the falsehood of the representation (whether through actual knowledge or recklessness)
3. The false representation caused the plaintiff to act and
4. The plaintiff’s actions resulted in a loss to the plaintiff.
