'Simulation is the situation in which the parties, with the aim of concealing their real
intentions, have made two agreements: an overt one (the sham transaction) and another
which is intended to remain secret. This covert agreement is sometimes embodied in a
document (variously called a back-letter, counter-letter or side-letter). '

'A simulated contract is one in which the parties imitate the appearance of a genuine agreement or transaction but in reality do not wish it to have any effect, or at least, not to have the effects that would normally flow from an agreement of the type which they appear to have concluded. Their aim is to achieve some oblique purpose through making use of the outward forms of a particular contract.'

'An agreement is considered simulated when two parties agree to execute an agreement that does not reflect their true intent with the purpose of deceiving a third party. '
