Samuel is given papers to sign while planning for his daughter's wedding. The papers are clearly and accurately the invoices for the food, service, and decorations. He agrees to these charges. Underneath the invoices, however, are a carbon and a contract of sale for a portion of the failing catering business. When Samuel signs the top papers, his signature is transferred to the sales contract. This deception automatically voids both the contract for food, service and decorations as well as the hidden sales contract.
