footing as mistake of fact

to the contract
Effect of Unilateral Mistake:

fraud.
• Where the mistake is caused by misrepresentation or fraud the contract becomes voidable at the option of the aggrieved party.

Cases where agreement does not give rise to any
contract in spite of a unilateral mistake:
Ø Mistake as to the identity of the person contracted with, where such identity is important
Ø Mistake as to nature and character of the written document.
• Reason for these two exceptions is that the mistake is so
fundamental as to go to the roots of the agreement
