Brown v. Brown

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “As distinguished from covenants of warranty, et cetera, which are often in a deed but which are not essential to its character, a deed is not a contract. A deed does something (conveys land) as distinguished from promising to do something.”
• “When two parties enter into a contract there must be a mutual intent—a ‘meeting of the minds’—concerning which there can be a ‘mutual mistake’ subject to certain legal corrections. However, the intent a donor must have to make a valid gift is entirely unilateral and subjective.”
