What is the test for intent to defraud?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Verrett, A127687, No. SCR-544765 (Cal. App. 2011):

We thus focus our review on the evidence that defendant had the specific intent to pass the bills and defraud someone in doing so. "An intent to defraud is an intent to deceive another person for the purpose of gaining a material advantage over that person or to induce that person to part with property or alter that person's position by some false statement or false representation of fact, wrongful concealment or suppression of the truth or by any artifice or act designed to deceive." (People v. Pugh (2002) 104 Cal.App.4th 66, 72.)
