A quick definition of fraus legis:

Term: FRAUS LEGIS

Definition: Fraus legis is a Latin term that means "fraud on the law." It refers to the act of doing something that is not explicitly prohibited by the law, but that goes against the spirit of the law. It is like finding a loophole in the law and using it to your advantage, even though it is not what the law intended.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fraus legis is a Latin term that means "fraud on the law." It refers to the act of evading the law by doing something that is not expressly forbidden by statute, but that the law does not want done.

Examples:

  • A person who sets up a sham corporation to avoid paying taxes is committing fraus legis.
  • Another example is when a person transfers property to a family member to avoid creditors.

These examples illustrate how fraus legis works. In both cases, the individuals are not breaking any specific laws, but they are using legal loopholes to evade the intent of the law. The law does not want people to avoid paying taxes or to transfer property to avoid creditors, so these actions are considered fraudulent.
