| Field           | JSON Type | [Internal Type][] | Description                |
|:----------------|:----------|:------------------|:---------------------------|
| `Owner`         | String    | AccountID         | Address of the source account that funded the escrow payment. |
| `OfferSequence` | Number    | UInt32            | Transaction sequence (or [Ticket](tickets.html) number) of [EscrowCreate transaction][] that created the escrow to cancel. |

Any account may submit an EscrowCancel transaction.

* If the corresponding [EscrowCreate transaction][] did not specify a `CancelAfter` time, the EscrowCancel transaction fails.
* Otherwise the EscrowCancel transaction fails if the `CancelAfter` time is after the close time of the most recently-closed ledger.
