Most-quoted passages

“a misrepresentation or a suppression of the truth made with the intention either to obtain an unjust advantage for one party or to cause a loss or inconvenience to another.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“To find fraud from silence or suppression of the truth, there must exist a duty to speak or to disclose information. Greene v. Gulf Coast Bank, 593 So.2d 630, 632 (La.1992); Bunge Corporation v. GATX Corporation, 557 So.2d 1376, 1383 (La.1990). The existence of this duty is a legal question. Relevant factors include whether the obligation is being imposed on a seller, who is more likely to be required to disclose, the importance of the fact not disclosed; the relationship of the parties; and the nature of the fact not disclosed. Bunge, supra at 1384 . Certain special circumstances, such as where the parties stand in some confidential or fiduciary relation to one another, will give rise to a duty. See Greene , and Bunge Corporation, both supra. As further expressed in the Bunge ruling: This duty to speak does not result from an implied representation by silence, but exists because a refusal to speak constitutes unfair conduct.”
