Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.

 Fraud presumed from the circumstances, even without proof of intent.
Comprises acts, omissions, or concealments that breach a legal or equitable duty or trust, causing harm.
It’s fraud by duty violated—not necessarily by design. 

Fraud that keeps someone from knowing their rights or from having a fair chance to present or defend their case.
A ground for equitable relief from judgment.
This is the kind of fraud that happens outside the record—before you even get your day in court. 

T When someone sets in motion an unconscionable scheme meant to corrupt justice itself.
It interferes with the court’s impartial role—influencing the judge or jury or blocking the truth from being heard.
Unlike ordinary fraud, it doesn’t require reliance—it poisons the entire proceeding. 

 When unrelated charges are improperly joined in a single trial or indictment.
It’s a procedural and constitutional violation that can derail justice from the start. 

I’m not a lawyer—and I’m not a carpenter either—
but if I see a toilet in the kitchen, I know somebody messed up.
