English term or phrase: while in contract, he is entitled to be put into the position in which he would
• The basic difference is this, that in tort, the plaintiff gets such damages as will put him into the position in which he would have been if the tort had not been committed, while in contract, he is entitled to be put into the position in which he would have been, if the contract had been performed.

• The right to rescind is a potential source of hardship to the representor and the third parties. Prejudice to third parties is avoided by the rule already discussed, that a contract cannot be rescinded after a third party has acquired an interest in the subject-matter.

Explanation:
IMO, I think it should be "whilst under contract", he is entitled to be put into the position in which he would have been, if the contract had been fulfilled. (carried out)
