Abstract

Although the law relating to common mistake’ has engendered a plethora of conundrums, many problem areas have in fact been well-traversed in the literature.‘ The present article does not seek to re-cover such welltrodden ground, but attempts, instead, to suggest a different and more systematic approach that would effect a merger of the common law and equitable3 branches of common mistake into one coherent, doctrine.
