    Full Answer

    D.Fraud by negligence✓ Correct
    The Fraud Act 2006 establishes a single general offence of fraud, which can be committed in three ways: 1) by false representation (s.2), 2) by failing to disclose information when there is a legal duty to do so (s.3), and 3) by abuse of position (s.4). Negligence lacks the required mens rea (dishonesty) for fraud.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing civil negligence with criminal fraud.
