action for lesion beyond moiety


Explanation:
This is the term in Louisiana law, and might serve us here.

This means that the seller is alleging that his/her property was bought from him for much less than its true value. The following is from Chile, but I think the principles are the same in other countries:

"El legislador trata esta figura en los art. 1888 y siguientes señalando que puede rescindirse el contrato de compraventa por lesión enorme.
La doctrina ha señalado que la lesión enorme en el contrato de compraventa constituye una desproporción grave entre el precio que se ha convenido y el verdadero valor de la cosa vendida.
[...]
El legislador señala que el vendedor sufre de lesión enorme cuando el precio que recibe es inferior a la mitad del justo precio de la cosa que vende."
http://www.derecho-chile.cl/lesion-enorme/

"Laesio enormis (Latin: abnormal harm) is a legal doctrine that gives the ability of a contracting party to rescind an agreement if the price of exchange is less than a certain sum (for instance one half, or two thirds) of its actual value. [...]
The Louisiana Civil Code article 2589 permits "Rescission for lesion beyond moiety". It states that the seller may rescind the sale of an immovable when the price, or the property it is exchanged for, is less than one half of the fair market value."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laesio_enormis

"The issue presented by this appeal is whether the legislative reduction of the time period for bringing an action for lesion beyond moiety was properly applied to plaintiffs, whose alleged cause of action arose prior to the legislative change."

neutral  philgoddard: I think "laesio enormis" would be justifiable if the text is for lawyers, but not Louisiana law.

  -> Maybe not, but it's tempting because it really is exactly the same thing.

(US + UK + OZ) Action on an extortionate credit bargain


Explanation:
lesión enorme: unconscionable bargain; disproportionate consideration (Tom West III's ES>AmE law dictionary).

Charles D's perfectly accurate rendering is in fact on all fours with the exact Roman-law equivalent in Austrian law ('Kürzung über die Hälfte') and that has been set as a classic contract and consumer Uni. law exam question for about the last 200 years (yes, I go back a long way).

However, my Solicitor colleagues back in London talk about 'extortionate (credit) bargains' - that may tentatively be akin to the idea.

Reference information:
La lesión enorme es una figura jurídica a la que puede recurrir un comprador o vendedor para exigir que se rescinda un contrato de compraventa, cuando el valor del contrato difiere desproporcionadamente del valor real.
Muchas personas desconocen la posibilidad que le ofrece la ley para defender sus intereses, cuando al comprar o vender algo se sienten “estafados” en le medida en que el valor de lo comprado o vendido es, de lejos, diferente el valor real de bien.
