rescind the remaining deadlines and commitments Explanation: There are at least a dozen synonyms for the word in both languages, any of which the text could have used without changing the context. 'Recision' was used and therefore see no reason to deviate from its direct counterpart. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/rescission |

rescindir los plazos y compromisos pendientes countermand (undo) the time limits and undertakings outstanding Explanation: Sticking the outstanding at the end possibly retains the ambiguity of the ST, namely it could be only the compromisos - and los plazos - that are o/s. Of 'equal' concern might be the translation of la parte cumplidora; IMO, in UK and Irish contract law, the innocent (compliant or performing) vs. the 'non-breaching' (AmE? - Tom West III) party = the one not in breach.
