The use of the word “rescission” to describe a termination of the performance of a contract has been the subject of criticism because it invites confusion with rescission of the contract ab initio. Its continued use is difficult to justify, although in Australia, where the usage is common, it can perhaps be justified on the basis that Australian law has generally been free of the confusion between rescission ab initio for misrepresentation and rescission in futuro for breach.  2, record 2, English, - rescission%20in%20futuro

A distinction must be made between misrepresentations which are fraudulent and those which are not. A fraudulent misrepresentation is one which is made with knowledge that it is untrue and with the intent to deceive. It may even constitute a term of the contract.... Non-fraudulent misrepresentations have a different effect. At common law only fraud entitles an innocent party to upset his apparent consent and avoid a contract which originally was validly created.  2, record 5, English, - non%2Dfraudulent%20misrepresentation

In English law, a promise is not, as a general rule, binding as a contract unless it is either made under seal or supported by some "consideration". The purpose of the doctrine of consideration is to put some legal limit on the enforceability of agreements even where they are intended to be legally binding and are not vitiated by some factor such as mistake, misrepresentation, duress or illegality.... The present position therefore is that English law limits the enforceability of agreements not under seal by reference to a complex and multifarious body of rules known as "the doctrine of consideration.
