Contract law through the cases: If a party misrepresents the content of a contract to the extent that there is no meeting of the minds between the parties, resulting in a fundamental mistake, then there is no valid contract.
This case highlights a fundamental principle of contract law: the obligations of the parties are defined by the terms of the contract itself, as interpreted according to established legal principles. The court's role is not to impose its own notions
Contract law through the cases: When a contract contains distinct and separable obligations, a party's acceptance of the repudiation of one obligation does not necessarily affect their rights under another obligation within the same contract.
