Explanation
Rescission cancels a contract and returns both parties to their original positions. TILA provides a mandatory 3-business-day right of rescission for non-purchase refinances and HELOCs on a borrower's primary residence — the borrower can cancel after signing. In general contract law, rescission may be available for fraud, duress, or mutual mistake.
