Highlight

Fraud and deceit may be imputed from an agent to the principal.
A principal cannot take the benefit of the transaction conducted by its agent ostensibly on its behalf without assuming full responsibility, not only for his acts, but also for his knowledge.
The adverse interest exception applies only when a third person seeks to enforce some demand against the corporation, but has no application where the corporation seeks to enforce the benefit of a fraud perpetrated by its officer on a third person.
Rescission of a contract is not a matter of absolute right, but instead is committed to the district court's sound discretion.
