Pleading Requirements for “Fraud” and “Aiding and Abetting Fraud” Causes of Action Succinctly Described

The Second Department, in affirming the denial of a motion to dismiss “fraud” and “aiding and abetting fraud” causes of action, explained the elements which must be alleged in the complaint:

To state a cause of action sounding in fraud, a plaintiff must allege that “(1) the defendant made a representation or a material omission of fact which was false and the defendant knew to be false, (2) the misrepresentation was made for the purpose of inducing the plaintiff to rely upon it, (3) there was justifiable reliance on the misrepresentation or material omission, and (4) injury” … . To plead a cause of action to recover damages for aiding and abetting fraud, the complaint “must allege the existence of [the] underlying fraud, knowledge of the fraud by the aider and abettor, and substantial assistance by the aider and abettor in the achievement of the fraud”. Moreover, pursuant to CPLR 3016(b), where a cause of action is based upon fraud or aiding and abetting fraud, the “circumstances constituting the wrong” must be “stated in detail.” Caravello v One Mgt. Group, LLC, 2015 NY Slip Op 07000, 2nd Dept 9-30-15
