Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 490:2A-505

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
  • Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
  • Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.
(b) On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior default or performance survives.
(c) Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of “cancellation”, “rescission”, or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent default.
(d) Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this article for default.
(e) Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be deemed inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.
