A civil conspiracy or collusion
is an agreement between two or more parties to deprive a third party of
legal rights or deceive a third party to obtain an illegal objective.[1]
A conspiracy may also refer to a group of people who make an agreement
to form a partnership in which each member becomes the agent or partner
of every other member and engage in planning or agreeing to commit some
act. It is not necessary that the conspirators be involved in all stages
of planning or be aware of all details. Any voluntary agreement and
some overt act
by one conspirator in furthance of the plan are the main elements
necessary to prove a conspiracy. A conspiracy may exist whether legal
means are used to accomplish illegal results, or illegal means used to
accomplish something legal.[2] "Even when no crime is involved, a civil action for conspiracy may be brought by the persons who were damaged."[1]
