The general remedy in civil court for all types of misrepresentations is that of\u00a0rescission. Rescission is defined as the unmaking of a contract between parties, thus unwinding a transaction. This means the court will act like the transaction or contract never existed, and everyone would go back to the position in which they were before they entered into the contract. Rescission can be done either by informing the represent or by requesting an order from the court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n\n\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action with-icon\" style=\"border: 1px solid #d8d8d8;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-row-66-33 clearfix\" style=\"padding: 2%;\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-text-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column1 mkd-call-to-action-cell\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-icon-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"mkd-icon-simple-line-icon icon-globe \" style=\"font-size: 33px; ;color: #c18f59; \" ><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-call-to-action-text\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>If you are a victim of a breach of contract or if you have been accused of breaching a contract, contact us today to schedule a time to talk about your legal concerns.<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mkd-button-wrapper mkd-call-to-action-column2 mkd-call-to-action-cell\" style =\"text-align: right ;\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/rsconsultingdns.com\/scarritt\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" style=\"background-color: #cf9455\" class=\"mkd-btn mkd-btn-medium mkd-btn-solid mkd-btn-icon\"  >    <span class=\"mkd-btn-text\"  >Contact Us<\/span><span class=\"mkd-btn-icon-holder\">            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>            <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"mkd-icon-font-elegant arrow_carrot-right mkd-btn-icon-elem\" ><\/span>        <\/span>    <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-offset-3 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-3&#8243;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;page-sidebar&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;70px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; triangle_shape=&#8221;no&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447926565788{padding-top: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-9 vc_col-md-12&#8243;][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1447926699772{padding-top: 45px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] What Constitutes Negligent Misrepresentation? &nbsp; Below are the essential elements of a claim of negligent representation: Someone with pecuniary interest in the transaction which he or she is involved in made a false representation as to a past or existing fact.
