It is deceiving a person and making him fall into an illusion that leads them to contract.
That is, if one of the contractors uses misleading methods towards the other contractor that leads him to conclude the contract, and fraud is accomplished once the fraudulent party is silent about some of the things he knows, while he must clarify it to the other contractor, so concealing a defect in the sale is fraud, so that if the buyer knew about it, he would not have purchase, and the contractor who signed the fraud may request that the contract be revoked due to fraud with a compensation request.
Conditions of fraud in the Syrian civil law:
Fraud is required in accordance with Article 127 of the Syrian Civil Code:
- If fraud is committed by one of the contractors towards the other contractor, and in case the fraud is from others, the contractor must be aware of it, or it is assumed that he is aware of the fraud.
- That the purpose of the fraudulent contractor is unlawful, and therefore fraud does not occur if the creditor deceives the procrastinator to pay off his debt, such as taking a mortgage from him and his aim is to collect his debt.
- That fraud is an incentive to contract. So that if the other contractor knew the circumstances, he would not have concluded the contract.
