Action for Fraud Can Not Be Based Upon Same Allegations as Action for Breach of Contract​

The Second Department explained that an action for fraud can not be based on breach of contract allegations:

“The elements of a cause of action sounding in fraud are a material misrepresentation of an existing fact, made with knowledge of the falsity, an intent to induce reliance thereon, justifiable reliance upon the misrepresentation, and damages” …. However, “a cause of action premised upon fraud cannot lie where it is based on the same allegations as the breach of contract claim” …. Where a claim to recover damages for fraud is premised upon an alleged breach of contractual duties, and the allegations with respect to the purported fraud do not concern representations which are collateral or extraneous to the terms of the parties’ agreement, a cause of action sounding in fraud does not lie …. Further, “[g]eneral allegations that defendant entered into a contract while lacking the intent to perform it are insufficient to support [a] claim” of fraudulent inducement… .  Fromowitz v W Park Assoc, Inc, 2013 NY Slip Op 03633, 5-22-13
