“The question of controlling importance relates to the relief sought and obtained by the Cunninghams in respect to the false representations made by Lane. The established rule is that where the equitable relief of cancellation or rescission is sought, on account of fraud, a court of equity will not grant such relief unless the complaining party has suffered pecuniary damage as a result of the fraud.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is manifest from the record that the case was tried and decided in the trial court on the erroneous theory that, regardless of the absence of a showing of resulting injury, the alleged false representations of Lane afforded ground for cancellation as sought by the Cunninghams.”
