Most commonly it occurs when a person dishonestly makes a false representation in order to gain for themselves or cause loss to another. As lawyers for fraud cases, we understand the serious nature of these charges and are well-prepared to defend against them.
The type of offences for which a person could be prosecuted include:
Fraud by False Representation – lying about something with the intention to cause a gain or a loss.
Fraud by Failure to Disclose Information – not declaring something when you have a legal duty to do so with the intention to cause a gain or a loss.
Fraud by Abuse of Position – where someone abuses a position of trust where there is an expectation to safeguard the financial interest of another and places another at financial risk or causes a loss.
Handling fraud cases is complicated because they come in many shapes and sizes, affecting both people and businesses. What happens in court depends on each case's unique details, like how much someone gained, how much someone lost, and if they've done crimes before. As fraud lawyers in Yorkshire, we have extensive experience dealing with these complexities.
Fraud charges are serious and can lead to jail time, huge fines, and other possessions. They can also ruin your reputation and finances.
At Harris Solicitors, we have a history of winning tough fraud cases. Our team is skilled, hardworking, and pays close attention to every detail. If you're facing a fraud investigation, we'll give you clear advice and guide you on what to do next. If you choose us to help you, we'll work tirelessly to protect your interests and get the best possible outcome for you.
