| adam_text | It is a matter of some difficulty for the English lawyer to
predict the effect of a misapprehension upon the
formation of a contract. The common law doctrine of
mistake is a confused one, with contradictory
theoretical underpinnings and seemingly irreconcilable
cases. This book explains the common law doctrine
through an examination of the historical development
of the doctrine in English law. Beginning with an
overview of contractual mistakes in Roman law, the
book examines how theories of mistake were received at
various points into English contract law from Roman
and civil law sources. These transplants, made for
pragmatic rather than principled reasons, combined in
an uneasy manner with the pre-existing English
contract law. The book also examines the substantive
changes brought about in contractual mistake by the
Judicature Act 1S73 and the fusion of law and equity.
Through its historical examination of mistake in
contract law, the book provides not only insights into
tile nature of innovation and continuity within the
common law but also the
(ateo!
legal transplants.
