Reformation

Reformation is a legal remedy used to correct or change a contract that does not accurately reflect the intentions of the parties involved. This can happen due to mistakes, ambiguities, or misunderstandings during the creation of the contract. Instead of canceling the agreement or seeking monetary damages, a court modifies the contract to align with what both parties originally intended. This ensures fairness and upholds the parties’ goals, allowing them to maintain their agreement as intended rather than starting over or losing out due to an error.
