Criminal Vs. Civil Fraud: What Are The Differences? Blog


saini-law.com
The main difference between a criminal fraud case and a civil fraud case is the way each is handled. In the case of criminal fraud, the person committing the act is prosecuted by the government. The guilty verdict or plea could result in probation, jail time, and/or restitution. On the other hand, in a civil fraud case, the defendant has misrepresented a material fact to obtain action or forbearance from another person. The victim of the misrepresentation then brings a civil lawsuit against the accused to recover damages due to the fraud. In a civil fraud case, the recovery may be for economic or non-economic losses.
