A Video Explaining Some Appellate Decisions on the Equitable Remedy of Rescission
\\n\\nResure, Inc. v. Superior Court
\\nIn Resure, Inc. v. Superior Court, 42 Cal.App.4th 156, 49 Cal.Rptr.2d 354 (Cal.App. Dist.2 01/31/1996) the California Court of Appeal dealt with a problem raised by statute and who won the race to the courthouse. Resure, Inc., filed a complaint for rescission and declaratory relief against respondents Dan Palmer and Geoffrey Palmer, doing business as G. H. Palmer Associates. The complaint alleged that the Palmers misrepresented material facts or failed to disclose facts concerning potential claims in their application for insurance which would have affected Resure\\u2019s decision to underwrite coverage. Resure\\u2019s offer to rescind and restore the premiums was stated in the complaint, but not in any notice or letter sent prior to filing it. Resure moved for summary judgment based on its claim for rescission.
\\nThe Legislature did not, as the plaintiffs argued in the Resure case, state it intended to abolish the insurers right to rescind. Since that language did not exist the court reasonably concluded that the only rational decision it could draw from the Legislature\\u2019s choice of words is that the Legislature did not understand \\u201caction on the contract\\u201d to mean equitable action to rescind an insurance contract. Rather, it only meant to describe an action brought at law to enforce the insurance policy and obtain as damages the benefits promised by the policy.
\\nWhenever an insured attempts to avoid the effect of a rescission by an insurer it will allege that the insurer waived its right to rescind or is estopped \\u2013 by its actions \\u2013 to assert a right to rescind.
