MAN v CZD Context <Back>

 

From these module the following arguments about factors of the case can be made:



  1. Both parties made a mutual mistake in believing that oil spills are mapped daily since:

  2. BO ⊢cr DailyOillSpillMap  and BE ⊢cr DailyOillSpillMap

  3. CK ∪ {DayWithoutImage} ⊢sk ¬ DailyOillSpillMap.

  4. CK ⊢sk Hold(DailyOillSpillMap,E)

  5. The mistake violates a basic assumption of the contract since:

  6. CK ∪ {DayWithoutImage} ⊢sk ¬ DailyCompositeMap

  7. CZD bears the risk of the mistake since BE ⊢cr  ¬ DailyOillSpillMap


Let MMIS be a module representing the doctrine of mutual mistake. It is easy to check  that it is not the case that MMIS ⊢sk Rescind(CZD,  contract). Thus CZD could not rescind from performing the contract on the grounds of mutual mistake doctrine.
