When the person entitled to the right of rescission is imputed to the damage or destruction of the thing received or any other circumstance which causes the return impossible, his right of rescission is extinguished. The same rule shall be applied when the kind of the thing received has been altered by process or remodeling.
中文原文 民法第262條
有解除權人,因可歸責於自己之事由,致其所受領之給付物有毀損、滅失或其他情形不能返還者,解除權消滅;因加工或改造,將所受領之給付物變其種類者亦同。
