Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A surety can assert fraud as a defense in certain circumstances, such as if the principal (the person being bonded) committed fraud when obtaining the bond. However, simply alleging fraud on the part of the obligee (the party who requires the bond) is generally not a valid defense for the surety.
