What the petition asks
During the run up to the referendum the Leave campaign was guilty of false representation as defined in the The Fraud Act 2006. As a large number of people were mislead by this information the referendum result should be considered void and a new referendum triggered.
Fraud by false representation (Section 2)
The defendant:
made a false representation
dishonestly
knowing that the representation was or might be untrue or misleading
with intent to make a gain for himself or another, to cause loss to another or to expose another to risk of loss.
The offence is entirely focused on the conduct of the defendant.
