Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leona is seeking rescission of the contract, which means a cancellation of the agreement and a return of the parties to their original positions before the contract was formed. This is a valid request in this situation, as the contract cannot be performed due to the cancellation of the conference. Option A (specific performance) is not appropriate in this scenario since the contract cannot be performed. Option B (an injunction) is not relevant here since Leona is not seeking to prevent a party from taking a certain action. Option D (an action that the court cannot order) is incorrect because rescission is a valid remedy available to parties in certain contract disputes.
