What Happens When Fraud In Contract Is Made?
An agreement or a contract becomes void and becomes non enforceable
when there is some kind of fraud involved in it. When there is mistake, or
fraud by one party it is considered as void contract.
Then the party affected by the fraud can sue the fraud party in the court
with fraud in the factum. As a defence of breach of an agreement claim can be
made when fraud in the inducement. However, it remains important to prove that
a valid contract was made between parties. Whereas, a contract made fraudulently
is not deemed as a valid agreement.
A scam done in factum can be used as defence to break a contract. Whereas
a contract made with the fraud in the factum without consent of victim is
considered as void and legally ineffective. One of the best examples of a fraud
in contract can be if a person is not mentally stable or incapable of
understanding anything but somehow made to sign a contract.
When a lawsuit is filled in court, the injured party is most commonly
awarded monetary damages. This is to compensate the losses victim faced by the
fraud over the time. Moreover, it also helps victim to recover their properties
if given to the defendant.
