That is when you intentionally lie to person about the potency of an object that the person depends on, which put the person at a detriment because the depended on the objects performance. If you tell someone that a crane can lift 10000 pounds, and he buys the crane knowing that he has to carry 9000, but in fact the crane only lifts 1000 pounds, that person can sue you on the basis of the tort of deceit.
