1. rescind

   In contract law, rescission is an equitable remedy which allows a contractual party to cancel the contract. Parties may rescind if they are the victims of a vitiating factor, such as misrepresentation, mistake, duress, or undue influence. Rescission is the unwinding of a transaction. This is done to bring the parties, as far as possible, back to the position in which they were before they entered into a contract (the status quo ante).

Examples of rescind in a Sentence

1. Gene Dodaro:

   Under the law, which was passed in 1974... the President can propose to Congress to rescind the money. The only way that would hold is if Congress says, yes, we agree. And Congress has 45 days to respond, what this opinion says is if Comptroller General Gene Dodaro try to withhold the money, and don't give Congress the 45 days, and the money expires toward the end of the year, that's not a proper rescission.

2. Robyn Beck:

   I based my support for the election of District Attorney George Gascón on the hope District Attorney George Gascón would advance public safety in Los Angeles and because of our close personal relationship of over 30 years, after observing the negative effects of District Attorney George Gascón policies and practices on public safety, I am compelled to rescind that endorsement.

3. Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner:

   The lack of accountability in these cases stands in stark contrast to disciplinary actions taken against VA whistleblowers, the VA has attempted to fire or suspend whistleblowers for minor indiscretions and, often, for activity directly related to the employee's whistleblowing. While OSC has worked with VA headquarters to rescind the disciplinary actions in these cases, the severity of the initial punishments chills other employees from stepping forward to report concerns.

4. Jim Jordan:

   I would like for the attorney general to rescind his memo. Hopefully, he will. We’ve asked him to. We’re going to continue to investigate this. But this is as wrong as it gets and Americans understand it.

   This has gone on long enough. There is no reason to keep The Capitol closed and to continue enforcing the draconian mask mandate, the Capitol belongs to the American people, and their right to come before Congress is not contingent on wearing a mask. No more excuses, reopen The Capitol and rescind the mandates so that we can return to normal.
