About this document
Standards for Fraud in Civil Cases by Jay Amor is a document available to read on EtoBox.
To annul a contract based on fraud, the deceit must be serious enough to deceive a prudent person given the circumstances. Clear and convincing evidence is required to prove fraud in civil cases, a higher standard than preponderance of evidence for ordinary civil cases but less than proof beyond reasonable doubt for criminal cases. The party alleging fraud bears the burden of presenting clear and convincing evidence that fraud occurred.
