A quick definition of reformation:

Reformation: Reformation is when a court changes a contract to make it fair for both parties. This happens when there was a mistake in the contract that needs to be fixed. To do this, the court needs to see proof that there was an agreement before, that there was a mistake made, and that the person asking for the change didn't do anything wrong. For example, if a contract said one thing but both parties meant something else, the court can change it to match what they really meant.

A more thorough explanation:

Reformation is a legal term that refers to a court's power to change a contract to reflect what the parties originally intended. This happens when there is an error in the contract that needs to be corrected. In order for a court to grant reformation, certain requirements must be met.

For example, in the case of Central Oregon Independent Health Services, Inc. v. State, the plaintiff argued that a previous contract required the parties to "pay at the correctly calculated rates." However, the current contract did not include this requirement. The court granted reformation because the plaintiff was able to prove that there was an antecedent agreement, a mistake had been made, and the plaintiff was not guilty of gross negligence.

In order to prove reformation, the following elements must be shown:

  1. There was an antecedent agreement to which the contract can be reformed.
  2. There was a mutual mistake or a unilateral mistake on the part of the party seeking reformation and inequitable conduct on the part of the other party.
  3. The party seeking reformation was not guilty of gross negligence.

Overall, reformation is a way for courts to correct mistakes in contracts and ensure that the parties' intentions are accurately reflected.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.
