THE COMPLAINT DID NOT STATE A CAUSE OF ACTION FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT BECAUSE IT DID NOT ADEQUATELY ALLEGE “OUT OF POCKET” DAMAGES (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the complaint did not state a cause of action for fraudulent inducement because it did not allege “out of pocket” damages:

… [T]he complaint fails to plead a cause of action for fraudulent inducement because it does not adequately allege that plaintiff suffered any ascertainable out-of-pocket pecuniary damages resulting from the alleged fraud … . Although plaintiff alleges unspecified reputational damages and lost revenue or profits, these allegations are not sufficient to sustain a cause of action based on fraud … . Similarly, plaintiff fails to allege that it paid any particular amount to acquire the G&P law practice or name, alleging only the value of G&P’s practice when plaintiff acquired it; this allegation is insufficient to measure plaintiff’s damages … . Furthermore, although plaintiff states that G&P “carried undisclosed liabilities,” it does not elaborate on what those might be…. . CKR Law LLP v Dipaolo, 2022 NY Slip Op 05587, First Dept 10-6-22

Practice Point: A complaint alleging fraudulent inducement does not state a cause of action unless it adequately alleges “out of pocket” damages.
