Civil fraud defense refers to legal arguments and strategies employed to rebut accusations of deceptive practices in non-criminal legal proceedings. This defense aims to demonstrate that no intentional misrepresentation, concealment, or false promise occurred, or that the alleged victim did not rely on such statements to their detriment. Successful defense requires presenting evidence that negates the elements of civil fraud.
