Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal judgment sufficiently established that the concealed facts made unemployment benefits not due and thus supported completed fraud rather than only attempt.
Solution extraite
The findings were incomplete: the cantonal courts did not determine whether, had the true facts been known, unemployment benefits would have been refused in whole or in part.
Motifs extraits
Fraud requires a deceptive act causing a patrimonial disposal and damage. In benefit cases, damage exists only if the concealed facts would have led to lawful refusal of the benefits. The record did not allow the Court to conclude that the appellant was ineligible, inapt for placement, or otherwise only entitled to reduced benefits.
