The Release of All Claims – 2

When the case was returned to the trial court, State Farm filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. State Farm asserted the complaint did not state a claim upon which relief could be granted, because the Association’s claims were barred by the settlement agreement and release, and the Association could not rescind the settlement agreement without first offering to restore to State Farm the consideration it paid under the agreement. The trial court  granted the motion, with leave to amend, observing that the  complaint did not allege fraud in the inducement or rescission, and that the Association “need[s] to either rescind the agreement or affirm the agreement and sue for damages.”
