Fraud occurs when one person substantially misrepresents or conceals a material fact peculiarly within his own knowledge ,
in consequence of which a delusion exists ;
or uses a device naturally calculated to lull the suspicions of a careful man ,
and induce him to forego inquiry into a matter upon which the other party has information ,
although such information be not exclusively within his reach .

A distinction has been made between the concealment of latent defects in real and personal property .
For example ,
the concealment by an agent that a nuisance existed in connexion with a house the owner had to hire ,
did not render the lease void .

In insurances ,
where fairness is so essential to ,
the contract ,
a concealment which is only the effect of accident ,
negligence ,
inadvertence ,
or mistake ,
if material ,
is equally fatal to the contract as if it were intentional and fraudulent .

The insured is required to disclose all the circumstances within his own knowledge only ,
which increase the risk .
He is not ,
however ,
bound to disclose general circumstances which apply to all policies of a particular description ,
notwithstanding they may greatly increase the risk .
Under this rule ,
it has been decided that a policy is void ,
which was obtained by the concealment by the assured of the fact that he had heard that a vessel like his was taken .
2 P .

And in a case where the assured had information of "
a violent storm "
about eleven hours after his vessel had sailed ,
and had stated only that "
there had been blowing weather and severe storms on the coast after the vessel had sailed "
but without any reference to the particular storm it was decided that this was a concealment ,
which vitiated the policy .
