Um, well, simply put, sir, uh... 59 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:12,580 A mistake is a misunderstanding of the facts. Less simply, Miss Logan. 60 00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:13,860 It's a misunderstanding. 61 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,780 A party offering to enter into a contract is considered to have made a 62 00:05:17,780 --> 00:05:21,000 mistake if it is clear he wouldn't have if he had known the facts. 63 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,820 An example, Mr. Anderson. 64 00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:32,200 My pocket calculator needs new batteries, so I offer to sell my house 65 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,700 to Mr. Bell. 66 00:05:34,190 --> 00:05:37,130 for $5,000 instead of $50,000. 67 00:05:37,730 --> 00:05:41,110 That's a mistake which Mr. Bell cannot take advantage of. 68 00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:45,150 Another example, Miss Birch. 69 00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:51,490 A mistake made by an intermediary. The telegraph company accidentally changes 70 00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:52,790 the price quoted by Anderson. 71 00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:56,610 Bell may not agree to that price since the mistake is so flagrantly obvious. 72 00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:58,490 $5,000 instead of $50,000. 73 00:05:58,770 --> 00:05:59,770 Very good. 74 00:05:59,810 --> 00:06:01,390 Another example, Mr. 75 00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:03,150 Turley. However. 76 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,040 I'm not finished, sir. 77 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,500 Some courts have held that Anderson would be obliged to sell his home for $5 78 00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:13,360 ,000 since, in effect, he hired the telegraph company as his agent. 79 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,100 I never liked the house anyway. 80 00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,320 If Bell accepted, relied on the contract, got in trouble and sued, one 81 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,140 might assume the telegraph company would be held liable since it made the 82 00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:25,340 mistake. Not so. 83 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,040 It has probably retained a highly noted contract specialist, someone like you, 84 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640 Professor, to make sure it's covered for that kind of mistake. 85 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,560 Exactly. It would seem, Miss Birch, that the telegraph company could save itself 86 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,600 an enormous fee by firing me and hiring you. 87 00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:50,100 Now, a brief announcement. 88 00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:57,960 To work on the footnotes for an article on the Uniform Commercial Code, I shall 89 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,260 require the services of a research assistant for approximately 30 days. 90 00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:06,110 I shall select one of you shortly. 91 00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:09,150 For warned, for armed. 92 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:27,890 How did you know that Kingsfield consulted for a telegraph company? 93 00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:31,850 If you were a telegraph company and needed a consultant, who would you hire? 94 00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:34,280 Bell?
