/kənˈsiɫmənt/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  CONCEALMENT, contracts. The unlawful suppression of any fact or 
  circumstance, by one of the parties to a contract, from the other, which in 
  justice ought to be made known. 1 Bro. Ch. R. 420; 1 Fonbl. Eq. B. 1, c. 3, 
  Sec. 4, note (n); 1 Story, Eq. Jur. Sec. 207. 
       2. Fraud occurs when one person substantially misrepresents or conceals 
  a material fact peculiarly within his own knowledge, in consequence of which 
  a delusion exists; or uses a device naturally calculated to lull the 
  suspicions of a careful man, and induce him to forego inquiry into a matter 
  upon which the other party has information, although such information be not 
  exclusively within his reach. 2 Bl. Com. 451; 3 Id. 166; Sugd. Vend. 1 to 
  10; 1 Com. Contr. 38; 3 B. & C. 623; 5 D. & R. 490; 2 Wheat. 183; 11 Id. 59; 
  1 Pet. Sup. C. R. 15, 16. The party is not bound, however, to disclose 
  patent defects. Sugd. Vend. 2. 
       3. A distinction has been made between the concealment of latent 
  defects in real and personal property. For example, the concealment by an 
  agent that a nuisance existed in connexion with a house the owner had to 
  hire, did not render the lease void. 6 IV. & M. 358. 1 Smith, 400. The rule 
  with regard to personalty is different. 3 Camp. 508; 3 T. R. 759. 
       4. In insurances, where fairness is so essential to, the contract, a 
  concealment which is only the effect of accident, negligence, inadvertence, 
  or mistake, if material, is equally fatal to the contract as if it were 
  intentional and fraudulent. 1 Bl. R. 594; 3 Burr. 1909. The insured is 
  required to disclose all the circumstances within his own knowledge only, 
  which increase the risk. He is not, however, bound to disclose general 
  circumstances which apply to all policies of a particular description, 
  notwithstanding they may greatly increase the risk. Under this rule, it has 
  been decided that a policy is void, which was obtained by the concealment 
  by the assured of the fact that he had heard that a vessel like his was 
  taken. 2 P. Wms. 170. And in a case where the assured had information of "a 
  violent storm" about eleven hours after his vessel had sailed, and had 
  stated only that "there had been blowing weather and severe storms on the 
  coast after the vessel had sailed" but without any reference to the 
  particular storm it was decided that this was a concealment, which vitiated 
  the policy. 2 Caines R. 57. Vide 1 Marsh. Ins: 468; Park, Ins. 276; 14 East, 
  R. 494; 1 John. R. 522; 2 Cowen, 56; 1 Caines, 276; 3 Wash. C. C. Rep. 138; 
  2 Gallis. 353; 12 John. 128. 
       5. Fraudulent concealment avoids the contract. See, generally, Verpl. 
  on Contr. passim; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.; Marsh. Ins. B. 1, c. 9; 1 Bell's 
  Com. B. 2, pt. 3, c. 15 s. 3, Sec. 1; 1 M. & S. 517; 2 Marsh. R. 336.
