English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
OBS

True meaning. The effect of the rescission is retroactive.

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.
