The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Constructive fraud is a breach of legal or equitable duty which, irrespective of the moral guilt of the fraud feasor, the law declares fraudulent because of its tendency to deceive others, to violate public or private confidence, or to injure public interests. Neither actual dishonesty of purpose nor intent to deceive is an essential element of constructive fraud.” Scudder v. Hart, 1941, 45 N.M. 76, 82 , 110 P.2d 536, 539 ; In re Trigg, 1942, 46 N.M. 96, 105 , 121 P.2d 152 .”
