defined white collar crimes as crime as a crime committed by persons of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation. 1 The main categories of white collar crimes are bribery and corruption, food and drug adulteration, counterfeiting, forgery, tax evasion, cyber-crimes etc

For a crime to occur there must be an act of either commission or omission by the accused. can't be convicted of a crime due to your status. Causation (human conduct must cause harm) For a crime to have been committed, there must be a casual relationship between and act and the harm suffered.




An instance showing the difference between an act of omission and the commission of an act is the difference in withholding the truth and voicing a lie. Both an act committed and an act of omission can change the result of a circumstance.
An act of omission and an act of commission are ethical issues of both a secular and religious nature. There is a difference in moral theology between formal cooperation and material cooperation both with and without consent. When a person either aids in an evil act or does nothing to prevent that act, it is cooperation with evil


(Negligence leads to liability. If someone causes an automobile accident leading to grievous injuries to another person and he is found driving, while being drunk, it is clear that it is a case of negligence as careless conduct of the driver led to a situation that caused mishap. If a doctor, in his hurry, does not apply stitches to a injured person properly, these stitches may give way causing a lot of trouble for the victim. The doctor can be held guilty on counts of negligence as his inability to perform his duty diligently caused suffering of patient)





What is Fraud on the Court? Fraud on the Court, or Fraud upon the Court, is where a material misrepresentation has been made to the court, or by the court itself. The main requirement is that the impartiality of the court has been so disrupted that it can’t perform its tasks without bias or prejudice. Some examples of fraud on the court include: Fraud in the service of court summons (such as withholding a court summons from a party) Corruption or influence of a court member or official Judicial fraud Intentionally failing to inform the parties of necessary appointments or requirements, in efforts to obstruct the judicial process “Unconscionable” schemes to deceive or make misrepresentations through the court system It’s important to note that fraud on the court only involves court officials or officers of the court, such as judges or court-appointed attorneys. The fraud must be directed at the “judicial machinery” itself. Fraud on the court generally does NOT mean: Fraud between the two opposing parties Submission of fraudulent documents Perjury or false statements by witnesses
For the official who acted in fraud upon the court, they may very well be required to step down from their position and may even be subjected to criminal consequences like a fine or a jail sentence. It could also result in other serious consequences, such as an attorney being disbarred, or a judge being removed from service.

If a court official is found to be biased or prejudiced even before fraud occurs, they are required to excuse themselves from the case, and a different official must be appointed. In some jurisidictions, a trial tainted by fraud on the court will be vacated or set aside for a certain time period (such as two years), to be “reopened” at a later date.
