Rescission is considered an equitable remedy. It allows a contract to be cancelled and parties to be restored to their pre-contractual positions. It is typically granted by a court to prevent unjust enrichment or unfair outcomes.
If equitable remedies are only allowed at the discretion of the court what happens when damages are not an adequate remedy?

When and who introduced remedies for breach of contract?
The answer to this question may vary depending on your jurisdiction. In general, at common law, breach of contract remedies come in two flavor: legal, and equitable. Equitable remedies evolved through the Courts of Equity (shock!) in England; legal through the Courts of Law. To grossly oversimplify, the court of law is based upon the written laws and statutes; the courts of equity, on what is "fair." The remedies were introduced over literally hundreds of years by a number of legislative bodies and courts. By comparison, most states in the United States provided breach of contract remedies in their statutes. You can actually look up each statute and see who introduced it, and when.

What is the difference between Legal and Equitable Rights?
A legal right is a right you have to something without any barriers. An equitable right is one that would be recognized by a court of equity. One of the easiest to understand examples is the right of real property ownership.Suppose a person purchases a parcel of land by deed from its owner. That person becomes the legal owner of the property. They have a legal right of ownership.Now suppose a person inherited a parcel of land as the only heir at law of her grandfather. The grandfather's estate must be probated to transfer legal title to the beneficiary. When the estate is probated through the probate court the beneficiary will become the legal owner of the premises by virtue of the court order that allows the probating of the estate.If the estate is not probated the beneficiary has an equitable right to the property and is not the legal owner. She has the right to commence a court action to probate the estate so she can acquire the legal right to the premises.Another example: An owner whose land is taken by the town due to nonpayment of real estate taxes has an equitable interest in the property until that right has been barred by a court decree. In this case the delinquent property taxes are the barrier to full legal ownership. The delinquent taxpayer is no longer the legal owner of the premises. Until the delinquent owner's rights have been barred by a court decree they have the right to pay the delinquent taxes to redeem their property and become the legal owner once again.
