The criminal law often requires one of the conspirators to take an overt step to accomplish the illegal act to demonstrate the reality of their <a href="/wiki/Intention_(criminal_law)" title="Intention (criminal law)">intention</a> to break the law, whereas in a civil conspiracy, an overt act towards accomplishing the wrongful goal may not be required.

In many states, officers and directors of a corporation cannot engage in a conspiracy with the corporation unless acting for their private benefit independent of any benefit to the corporation. </p><p>Civil conspiracy law often takes the form of <a href="/wiki/Antitrust" class="mw-redirect" title="Antitrust">antitrust</a> lawsuits, usually litigated in <a href="/wiki/United_States_district_court" title="United States district court">federal court</a>, where, for example, a <a href="/wiki/Plaintiff" title="Plaintiff">plaintiff</a> may seek treble <a href="/wiki/Damages" title="Damages">damages</a> for overpayments caused by <a href="/wiki/Price-fixing" class="mw-redirect" title="Price-fixing">price-fixing</a> above a market rate.

The subsidiary was accused of conspiracy to violate securities laws by transferring $762 million in troubled loans and investments to off-balance-sheet entities in 2001. In that case, the Justice Department deferred prosecution of PNC, citing its cooperation in a related investigation.

The standard <a href="/wiki/California" title="California">California</a> <a href="/wiki/Jury_instruction" class="mw-redirect" title="Jury instruction">jury instruction</a> for conspiracy is governed by Rule 2.1050 of the California Rules of Court, The new California jury instructions are designated as the “official instructions for use in the state of California.” It is not mandatory for the California judges to use them; but it is strongly encouraged. </p><p>An example of some of the "plain language" California civil instructions on the essential factual elements of conspiracy reads as follows (with fictional names placed in the blanks in the jury instruction form): </p> <blockquote> <p>A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to commit a wrongful act. </p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Such an agreement may be made orally or in writing or implied by the conduct of the parties. </p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Plaintiff Smith, Inc., claims that it was harmed by Defendant Jones Corp. for refusing to sell widgets to Plaintiff Smith, Inc. with intent to unreasonably injure competition and that Defendant Brown & Associates is also liable for the harm because it was part of the conspiracy with Jones Corp. to unreasonably injure competition under the California antitrust laws. </p> </blockquote> <p>The facts of each case can vary widely as to exact nature of the underlying scheme. In the above example, a common <a href="/wiki/Fact_pattern" title="Fact pattern">fact pattern</a> could be that widgets are necessary for Smith, Inc. to manufacture its product, and Brown & Associates is a competitor of Smith, Inc. </p><p>How the conspirators entice one another into the scheme also varies. In the above example Brown & Associates could promise Jones, Corp. <a href="/wiki/Kickback_(bribery)" title="Kickback (bribery)">kickbacks</a> from the additional profits it hopes to make if Smith, Inc is forced out of business because it lacks the necessary widgets, or Jones Corp could entice Brown into a conspiracy with the prospect of increased profits, to be shared with Jones for withholding widgets from Smith. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_English_law">In English law</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Civil_conspiracy&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: In English law"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Tort" title="Tort">tort</a> of conspiracy requires there to be knowledge of the relevant circumstances and of the agreement made. Thus, as a precondition to <a href="/wiki/Corporate_liability" title="Corporate liability">corporate liability</a>, it must be possible to <a href="/wiki/Imputation_(law)" title="Imputation (law)">attribute</a> the relevant employee's or <a href="/wiki/Agent_(law)" class="mw-redirect" title="Agent (law)">agent's</a> knowledge to the corporation. There are two possible legal approaches: </p> <ul><li>as a matter of <a href="/wiki/Agency_(law)" class="mw-redirect" title="Agency (law)">agency law</a>, the acts and omissions constituting the alleged conspiracy must have been carried out within the actual or ostensible authority of the agent; or</li> <li>as a matter of <a href="/wiki/Vicarious_liability" title="Vicarious liability">vicarious liability</a> the acts and omissions must have been carried out in and during the course of the employment.</li></ul> <p>There is little difficulty when the claim is that the company either conspired with a second company or with at least two natural persons. The requisite knowledge can be attributed under either head as appropriate. But there is a problem under the first heading when <a href="/wiki/Fraud" title="Fraud">fraud</a> is involved because there is a clash of authority. <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lloyd_v_Grace,_Smith_%26_Co&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lloyd v Grace, Smith & Co (page does not exist)">Lloyd v Grace, Smith & Co</a></i> [1912] AC 716 held that a Principal may be liable where the Agent commits a fraud within actual or apparent authority, whereas in <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=In_re_Hampshire_Land_Company&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="In re Hampshire Land Company (page does not exist)">In re Hampshire Land Company</a></i> [1896] 2 Ch 743, it was held that the knowledge and, sometimes, the conduct of an Agent acting fraudulently so as to cause loss to the Principal will not be imputed to the Principal. In theory, vicarious liability may be of more assistance in that it is attributing the wrong done by one (natural) person to another (fictitious) but, in <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Belmont_Finance_Corporation_v_Williams_Furniture_Ltd&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Belmont Finance Corporation v Williams Furniture Ltd (page does not exist)">Belmont Finance Corporation v Williams Furniture Ltd</a></i> [1979] Ch 250, the <i>Hampshire Land</i> agency line of authority was preferred. Belmont, a company in liquidation, sued a number of defendants, including the majority of its own directors, for conspiracy to procure Belmont to buy shares in another company at a gross overvalue. The purpose of this plan was to fund the acquisition of shares in Belmont itself by some of the defendants. Foster J. struck out the claim on the basis that Belmont was itself a party to the conspiracy. On <a href="/wiki/Appeal" title="Appeal">appeal</a>, Buckley LJ. said: </p> <dl><dd>But in my view knowledge should not be imputed to the company, for the essence of the arrangements was to deprive the company improperly of a large part of its assets. As I have said, the company was a victim of the conspiracy. I think it would be irrational to treat the directors, who were allegedly parties to the conspiracy, notionally as having transmitted this knowledge to the company.</dd></dl> <p>Because Belmont could only be a party to the conspiracy if knowledge was imputed, the <a href="/wiki/Court_of_Appeal_of_England_and_Wales" class="mw-redirect" title="Court of Appeal of England and Wales">Court of Appeal</a> insulated it from the knowledge of its directors even though those directors, with that knowledge, made relevant decisions at board meetings and attached the company seal to the relevant documents. To that extent, liability in conspiracy is different from the standard vicarious liability situations in which, say, a company will be deemed to know that vehicles or machinery have not been properly maintained or that a service has been negligently delivered. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
