Limits of rescission for misrepresentation

Abstract:

Rescission is the primary remedy for misrepresentation. The Court of Appeal has recently emphasised this important point, and has also held that an interim payment can be made where a defendant pleads misrepresentation as a defence and that sum of money would be payable were rescission to be ordered at trial. Yet such a robust approach towards rescission may be undermined by the courts’ continuing reliance upon the controversial doctrine of “contractual estoppel”.
