True meaning. The effect of the rescission is retroactive. 2, record 2, English, - rescission%20of%20contract
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
In its primary and more correct sense, rescission means the retrospective cancellation of a contract ab initio, as for instance where one of the parties has been guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. In such a case the contract is destroyed as if it had never existed, but its discharge by breach never impinges upon rights and obligations that have already matured. 3, record 2, English, - rescission%20of%20contract
