Question

Jean agrees to lease Steven the fourth floor of his house. Jean himself resides on the second floor. The person typing the contract strikes the wrong key, and the contract reads the leased portion as the "second floor." Neither Jean nor Steven notices this error when they read and sign the contract. What will the courts do in the case of a dispute?

Answer 1

Reform the contract

Step-by-step explanation:

Contract reform is a term that refers to a tactic used to resolve some breach of contract or breach of a contract, as long as it represents simple situations to resolve, such as the situation between Jean and his tenant. In such cases, contract reform allows the contract to be rewritten to correct the party causing conflict between the contracting parties.
