How does fraudulent misrepresentation occur?

Fraudulent misrepresentation occurs when an individual deliberately makes false statements or misrepresents material facts to another party, with the intention of inducing them into a contract or agreement. This deceptive practice revolves around intentionally providing misleading information or concealing important facts, leading the victim to make decisions based on false premises. Fraudulent misrepresentation typically involves a level of knowledge and intent, wherein the offender knows that the information they are providing is false or misleading and intends to cause harm or gain an unfair advantage from the situation. Such fraudulent acts can be committed in various contexts, including business transactions, insurance claims, or legal proceedings.
