What Constitutes Commercial Fraud?
The recent case of Weavering Capital (UK) Ltd v Peterson Commercial [2013] showed that commercial fraud can take many forms. There is no single definition of commercial fraud, instead the law recognises certain actions to be fraudulent. Examples include:
- Money laundering
- Fraudulent trading
- Insurance fraud
- Tax, VAT and duty fraud
- Economic torts of conspiracy (such as bribery and breach of contract)
- Transactions which are committed with the intention of defrauding creditors
- Deceit and misrepresentation
- Breach of trust and/or fiduciary duty
