California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 4 — General Provisions, Part 1 — Relief, Title 3 — Specific and Preventive Relief, Chapter 2 — Specific Relief, Article 4 — Revision of Contracts, Section 3399
When, through fraud or a mutual mistake of the parties, or a mistake of one party, which the other at the time knew or suspected, a written contract does not truly express the intention of the parties, it may be revised on the application of a party aggrieved, so as to express that intention, so far as it can be done without prejudice to rights acquired by third persons, in good faith and for value.
Notes
Allows a written contract that fails to express the parties’ true intention because of fraud, mutual mistake, or one party’s mistake known or suspected by the other to be revised on an aggrieved party’s application. Revision may express the true intention only to the extent it does not prejudice rights acquired by good-faith third persons for value.
