Ted is selling another car, this time to Mary. Ted tells Mary that the car has never been in an accident. Ted knows that the car has, in fact, been in several accidents. After Mary buys the car, she discovers Ted’s deception. She brings suit against Ted. What is her best claim against him?

Fraud.

Explanation:

There are different forms of fraudulent acts but the best way to describe the case above is called false representation.

Fraud usually takes place when a person deliberately practices deception in order to gain something unlawfully or unfairly. In most states, the act of fraud can be classified as either a civil or a criminal wrong. While fraud is most commonly committed to obtain benefits of value, it sometimes occurs solely for the purpose of deceiving another person or entity.
