Definition : Fraudulent acts (fraud)

Serious misconduct in the exercise of a mandate (director, provisional director, condo manager). Such acts of misappropriation include several types of serious misconduct such as embezzlement, diversion of assets, and accounting or financial frauds (e.g. falsification of accounts). In the case of fraud affecting a syndicate of co-owners, any interested party can ask the court to determine if the directors who participated in the misdeed or have made a profit therefrom are liable for the damage suffered by the syndicate.
