*597Deen, Presiding Judge,
dissenting.
Assuming arguendo that actual fraud embracing “actual moral guilt” has not been proven by the evidence, constructive fraud and lesser evidentiary requirements not amounting to moral guilt and supporting negligent construction, breach of contract and breach of warranty seem to have been met. While lesser claims alleged under the CPA such as negligent construction would appear to be included in the greater allegations of fraud it would not obtain in reverse. See generally §§ 2-5,2-6 and 2-7, pp. 16,17 and 18, Ga. Prac. &Proc., 4th Ed.
The jury, after hearing a great deal of testimony, returned a verdict of $20,000 in favor of plaintiff-appellees. We cannot say there is no competent evidence to support the verdict and judgment in this case. I would affirm.
