A material fact is a fact that a reasonable person would recognize as relevant to a decision to be made, as distinguished from an insignificant, trivial, or unimportant detail. In other words, it is a fact, the suppression of which would reasonably result in a different decision.

To make a "misrepresentation" simply means to state as a fact something which is false or untrue. To make a material "omission" is to omit or withhold the statement of a fact, knowledge of which is necessary to make other statements not misleading.

What is an Example of Omission? An example of a textbook omission is if one walks past a car collision and can see that both parties are severely injured, yet makes no attempt to help nor call emergency services. This failure to act could be seriously damaging to the lives of others and may even be fatal.
