fraud in the inducement

Fraud occurring when a misrepresentation leads another to enter into a transaction with a false impression of the risks, duties, or obligations involved; an intentional misrepresentation of a material risk or duty reasonably relied on, thereby injuring the other party without vitiating the contract itself, esp. about a fact relating to value.

— Also termed fraud in the procurement. Cf. fraud in the factum. [Cases: Contracts 94(1); Fraud 3, 24. C.J.S. Contracts §§ 136, 139–140, 156–160, 170–171, 173–174.]
