ABSTRACT

With the development of economy and society, the contract has become an important means for the development of market economy. It has binding force on the parties to the contract. Each subject should carry out civil activities within the limits of the content of the contract, but it is inevitable that some contract subjects conceal the truth or false statements in the process of contract performance for personal interests, harm the interests of others, lead to a series of civil and economic disputes, and even bear criminal responsibility. At present, it is difficult to distinguish between civil fraud and contract fraud. Although the behavior of the two is very similar, civil fraud bears civil liability, while contract fraud bears criminal responsibility. The difference between the two in terms of responsibility is great. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately define civil fraud and contract fraud in legal theory to ensure that minor civil breaches are exempt from criminal law.
