InvestigationA structured gathering of Documentary Evidence and Testimony to solve a reported Fraud.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Evidence
Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.
Testimony
Evidence. The statement made by a witness under oath or affirmation
Fraud
Contracts, torts. Any trick or artifice employed by one person to induce another to fall into an error, or to detain him in it, so that he may make an agreement contrary to his interest. The fraud may consist either, first, in the misrepresentation, or, secondly, in the concealment of a material fact. Fraud, force and vexation, are odious in law.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Invention
A contrivance; a discovery. It is in this sense this word is used in the patent laws of the United States. It signifies not something which has been found ready made, but something which, in consequence of art or accident, has been formed; for the invention must relate of some new or useful art, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, not before known or used by others. By invention, the civilians understand the finding of some things which had not been lost; they must either have abandoned, or they must have never belonged to any one, as a pearl found on the sea shore.
Inventiones
This word is used in some ancient English charters to signify treasure-trove.
Inventor
One who invents or finds out something.
Inventory
A list, schedule, or enumeration in writing, containing, article by article, the goods and chattels, rights and credits, and, in some cases, the lands and tenements, of a person or persons. In its most common acceptation, an inventory is a conservatory act, which is made to ascertain the situation of an intestate's estate, the estate of an insolvent, and the like, for the purpose of securing it to those entitled to it.
Inventory shrinkage
Theft of physical inventory.
Invest
To invest. 1) Contracts. To lay out money in such a manner that it may bring a revenue; as, to invest money in houses or stocks; to give possession. 2) This word, which occurs frequently in the canon law, comes from the Latin word investire, which signifies to clothe or adorn and is used, in that system of jurisprudence, synonymously with enfeoff.
Investiture
Estates. The act of giving possession of lands by actual seisin. When livery of seisin was made to a person by the common law he was invested with the whole fee; this, the foreign feudists and sometimes 'our own law writers call investiture, but generally speaking, it is termed by the common law writers, the seisin of the fee.
