"Fraud on the Court" is when either a judge or an officer of the court (i.e. attorney) makes any statement of misrepresentation, which is relied upon by the judge in rendering a judicial decision.
When it happens, it means that the judicial decision is VOID from the beginning, and the decision can be set aside (declared not valid).
So, if DOJ attorneys committed Fraud on the Court AND the judge issued an opinion based on that information (not realizing it was fraudulent), then that judge's decision is VOID. It will take a court action to make that declaration, but that is how it SHOULD be done.
