rectification

Read a random definition: surcharge

A quick definition of rectification:

Rectification is when a court changes a written contract or law to make it match what the people involved really meant. This happens when there is a mistake in the contract or law that needs to be fixed. For example, if a lease says the rent is $1000 a month but it was supposed to be $500 a month, the court can fix it. The court can also change the words of a law if they think it was written wrong. This is called rectification.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Rectification is when a court changes a written contract or law to make it match what the parties involved actually intended. This is done when there is a mistake or error in the original document that needs to be corrected.

One example of rectification is when a lease agreement has the wrong amount of rent written down. If the parties involved intended for a different amount to be paid, the court can change the contract to reflect this.

Another example is when a deed for a piece of land has the wrong area listed. If the parties intended for a different area to be included, the court can change the deed to match their intentions.

Rectification can also be used when a law has been poorly written and needs to be clarified. For example, if a law says "and" when it should say "or," the court can change the wording to match what they believe the lawmakers intended.

These examples show how rectification is used to correct mistakes and ensure that contracts and laws accurately reflect the intentions of the parties involved.
