error in fact

Read a random definition: cornering the market

A quick definition of error in fact:

Error in fact is when someone makes a mistake about something important in a deal or agreement. This mistake can make the deal not fair or not workable. It's different from a mistake about what the law says. If both people in the deal make the same mistake, it's called a mutual mistake. If only one person makes the mistake, it's called a unilateral mistake. Sometimes, if there is a mistake, the deal can be cancelled or changed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Error in fact refers to a mistake or misunderstanding about a fact or situation that is material to a transaction or agreement. It can occur when one or both parties have a belief that does not correspond to the facts or law.

Examples:

  • John sells his car to Jane, believing it has 50,000 miles on it when it actually has 100,000 miles. This is an error in fact.
  • Tom signs a contract to buy a house, believing it has a swimming pool when it actually does not. This is also an error in fact.

These examples illustrate how an error in fact can occur when one party has a mistaken belief about a material fact that affects the transaction or agreement. In both cases, the mistaken belief could have led to a different outcome if the parties had known the true facts.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.
