A contract for a sale of land from Bayside Properties, Inc., to City Development Corporation contains an erroneous legal description. The most appropriate remedy for these parties is
A) ​a quasi contract.
B) ​reformation.
C) ​rescission.
D) ​specific performance.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reformation would allow the parties to correct the erroneous legal description in the contract. This is the appropriate remedy when there is a mistake in the contract that was made by one or both parties. A quasi contract, rescission, or specific performance would not address the issue of the erroneous legal description.
