<p><span class="padded-dropcap">T</span>he following video covers the concept of fraud through active and passive concealment in contract law. It distinguishes between actively hiding material facts, which constitutes fraud, and merely remaining silent, which does not. Using cases like <em>Keates </em>v.<em> Earl of Cadogan</em>and <em>Laidlaw </em>v.<em> Organ</em>, the video illustrates that without a duty to disclose information, passive concealment is not considered fraudulent. The video emphasises that fraud involves active deception or concealment of facts, not simply withholding information.</p>
