Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between intrinsic fraud and extrinsic fraud?
Intrinsic fraud refers to fraudulent conduct that occurs within the actual legal proceedings, such as perjury or tampering with evidence. Extrinsic fraud, on the other hand, occurs outside of the proceedings and can include actions like bribing a witness or hiding evidence. Both types of fraud can have serious consequences for the integrity of the legal system.
How can a party prove the existence of extrinsic fraud?
To prove the existence of extrinsic fraud, a party must demonstrate that there was intentional misrepresentation or concealment of material facts by the opposing party, and that this conduct had a significant impact on the outcome of the case. This can be done through presenting evidence such as documents, witness testimony, or expert opinions that support the claim of extrinsic fraud.
