There is another provision of the civil practice rules that requires particularity – CPLR 3016(a).

Legal standards, particularly those outlined in Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, demand clarity regarding the who, what, when, where, and how of fraudulent acts.

The requirement of pleading fraud “with particularity” carried over from English common-law requirements and was in part meant to protect against the reputational injury arising from spurious allegations of fraudulent conduct.
