Legal Question
How do I prove fraud?
I am trying to draft a federal case against the State of Utah. I have some evidence that shows that they acted to deliberately to defraud the US government of Title IV funds. Where this should abrogate their immunity I think the biggest problem I will have will be to prove they acted to defraud the US Government.
So, the question is three fold.
1. What law would a private citizen use to take a state to court for fraud?
2. What gives a private citizen standing to bring federal action for this kind of fraud?
3. What is the standard of evidence for proving fraud like this?
Thank you
