A plea of non est factum essentially means "it is not my deed" and is used as a defense when a party claims they did not understand or did not agree to the terms of the contract they signed. It does not require both parties to have made a mistake, and can be used even if there was no misrepresentation. However, it may not be a strong defense against third parties.
