CLAT practice, one real question at a time

Principle: Where a contract is induced by fraud, the injured party may rescind the contract and is entitled to be restored, as far as possible, to the position they were in before the contract was made. Facts: A buyer purchases a used car after the seller falsely represents that it has never been in an accident, showing a fabricated inspection report. The buyer later discovers the car had, in fact, suffered major accident damage that was concealed through cosmetic repairs.
