Article 54

Either party has the right to request a people's court or an arbitration institution to alter or rescind any of the following contracts:

  • any contract which is made under substantial misunderstanding; or
  • any contract the making of which lacks fairness.

Where a party makes the other party enter into a contract against its true will by means of deceit, coercion or taking advantage of its difficulties, the injured party has the right to request a people's court or an arbitration institution to alter or rescind the contract.

Where the request of the party is an alteration to the contract, the people's court or arbitration institution shall not rescind it.
