rescissions
Formal contract cancellations
Rescissions is the plural of rescission, which is the formal cancellation or revocation of a law, contract, or agreement.
The term appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts: Congress voted to block the rescissions proposed by the White House.
A rescission nullifies an agreement as if it never existed, distinguishing it from mere termination.
