Is there a cause of action for civil conspiracy based on fraud?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Snow v. A. H. Robins Co., 165 Cal.App.3d 120, 211 Cal.Rptr. 271 (Cal. App. 1985):
Plaintiff in fact stated a cause of action for civil conspiracy based on fraud. However, we have held "[t]here is no cause of action for civil conspiracy itself; an actionable wrong that is the subject of the conspiracy must be alleged in order to state a cause of action." (Kenworthy v. Brown (1967) 248 Cal.App.2d 298, 301, 56 Cal.Rptr. 461.)
