2. The Fraud Act of 2006 is one of the major
references for cases involving false
representation. The Act provides legal
provisions to identify fraudulent acts and make
those responsible accountable. Rahman Ravelli
solicitors list the following elements for all cases
of fraud:
 Fraud by false representation
 Fraud by failing to disclose information
 Fraud by abuse of position
 Possession of articles for use in fraud
 Making or supplying articles for use in
fraud
 Participation by sole trader in fraudulent business
 Obtaining services dishonestly
 Liability of company officers for offences by company
The Principle of “Gain” and “Loss”
Rahman Ravelli help clients understand all the legal terms concerning fraud. Many fraud cases
inovlve ‘gain’ or ‘loss’ of money and all types of property, whether real, personal, or intangible.
The law firm’s solicitors identify these elements to see if there’s a probable cause for their
clients’ cases.
The Fraud Act defines ‘gain’ as keeping items in possession, apart from getting new properties
that one does not originally own. On the other hand, ‘loss’ is not just starting with a property,
but also not getting what one might own.
This provision in the law includes ownership or control of items used for fraud. The Act also
covers the creation and distribution of things for use in fraud, which makes it important for
everyone to understand what ventures fall under the Fraud Act.

Examples of Fraud Cases
Fraud covers many instances, including the
following scenarios:
Mortgage Fraud
This is a crime where the intent is to
misrepresent or omit information in a
mortgage loan application. People who
commit this type of fraud aims to obtain a
bigger loan amount than they would’ve gotten if they revealed the true state of their finances
or credit. Wide-scale mortgage fraud can bankrupt the lending company, which is why any false
information indicated in a form invalidates an application immediately.
Rahman Ravelli solicitors with a background on mortgage fraud will determine if there is intent
to falsify information to defend clients who were not able to change the details of their
mortgage.
Tax Evasion
Misrepresenting the correct amount of taxes a person must pay to remit lower taxes violates
the Fraud Act directly. Dishonest tax reporting, declaring less income or profits and other acts
aiming to reduce tax liabilities are some of the common offences.
Solicitors will prepare the defence to understand how the prosecution links the different lines
or chains of companies to prove that fraud took place.
Above are just two examples of fraud cases that Rahman Ravelli handles. For more information,
