Legal Definition and Related Resources of Rescind

Meaning of Rescind

To abrogate , annul , avoid or cancel , to vacate or set aside; terminate. In relation to contracts, to rescind a contract is not merely to terminate the same but to abrogate and undo it from the beginning; to restore the parties to their relative position which they occupied prior to the contract. See Vowels v Arthur Murray Studios of Mich. Inc., 163 N. W.2d 35, 12 Mich.App. 359. It is more than merely releasing the parties from further obligations to each other in respect to the subject of the contract and restores them to their relative positions which they would occupy if no such contract had ever been made. See U.S. v Landers, (D.C.N.Y.) 128 F.Supp. 97.
