Difference between revisions of "Contracts for Sale of Goods (11:III)"

The remedy of rescission seeks to undo a contract. It is available for, among other things, misrepresentation. See section IV.I for a fuller   discussion of what constitutes misrepresentation. Rescission is an equitable remedy that sets the contract aside and seeks to restore the  parties to their original, pre-contractual positions. This usually means return of the goods and return of any payment made. Because it undoes the contract, no damages can be claimed beyond the restitution necessary to return the parties to their pre-contractual positions. Delay in bringing the action or acceptance of the goods may bar rescission.
