R - Rescission and setting aside
20/2/15
IBM UNITED KINGDOM HOLDINGS LTD v DALGLEISH [2015] EWHC 389 (Ch)
A contract procured as the result of a breach of the contractual duty of trust and confidence is voidable; the innocent party is not restricted to a claim in damages. There is no good reason why, as a matter of principle, this should not be so any more than in cases of duress, fraud or mistake [85].
