The offence of fraud is not restricted to deceit of a person, but includes deprivation of property, money or valuable security by deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means. The words other fraudulent means include other means which can properly be stigmatized as dishonest, and this concept does not require that there be some form of relationship or nexus between the accused and victim. Amendments in 1985 to the definition of document in s. 321 of the Criminal Code make it clear that the forgery offences apply to computer documents."
