RECISION Meaning and Definition

1. Recision is a term used primarily in legal contexts to refer to the act of revoking or invalidating a contract, agreement, or transaction. It is the legal remedy employed to restore parties to their original positions prior to the agreement being made. Recision essentially undoes the legal consequences of a contractual arrangement by treating it as if it never existed.

   The concept of recision is often triggered by certain circumstances such as fraud, misrepresentation, mistake, undue influence, or duress. If any of these factors are found to have impacted the formation of a contract, a party can seek recision to have the contract declared void ab initio (from the beginning), thereby rendering it null and void.

   Recision has the effect of canceling or annulling the contract retroactively, releasing the parties from any obligations or liabilities resulting from the agreement. The goal is to restore the parties to their original rights and positions as if the contract had never been made. This includes the return of any consideration or benefits exchanged during the course of the agreement.

   In addition to contracts, recision can also be applied to other legal documents or actions, such as wills or court orders. However, it is important to note that recision is a legal remedy that is subject to specific rules and requirements. It typically requires a formal legal process or court ruling to be effectuated.

2. The act of cutting off.
