Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 1921

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.

Upon rescission of a contract on the ground of incapacity, each party or his legal representative shall restore to the other what he has received thereunder.  When restoration is impossible or impracticable, the court may award compensation to the party to whom restoration cannot be made.
