Deceit meaning
Deceit is a tort of fradulent misrepresentations: it’s elements are:
1) A fraudulent statement
2) Made with intent to decieve
3) Which induces reliance on the part of the plaintiff
4) And results in injury to the plaintiff.
The tort will also lie where the statement was made with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsehood.
Deceit is similar to the tort of passing off; however in the tort of deceit the injured plaintiff is a consumer, and in the tort of passing off the injured plaintiff is a competitor.
In some jurisdiction deceit or fraud is a statutory tort and includes an action against false advertising.
See: Karlin v. IVF America, 1999 N.Y. LEXIS 815, *; 93 N.Y.2d 282; 712 N.E.2d 662; 690 N.Y.S.2d 495 (Suit for false advertising permitted under fraud statute in case of medical misrepresentation).
