The following discusses about remedies available when a mistake or error has occurred in the contract.
Rectification of the contract
Sometimes, parties to the contract may agree to include a particular matter, but that matter may either be omitted or may be erroneously entered in the contract. In such cases, an application for rectification of the error may be made. And when this is done, S2 (4) stipulates that the court has the discretion to determine the date on which the contract comes into operation.
Rectification of the transfer deed
Rectification of the transfer deed can also be applied to the court when the terms of deed are not mentioned or are inaccurately mentioned.
