Syllabus

<p>1. Mistake—reforming contracts, in equity. A court of equity will not grant relief against or correct a mistake or misapprehension of the law, and if a party designs to and performs an act, under a mistaken view of the law affecting the transaction, he is held to the obligation incurred.</p> <p>3. Nor will equity relieve against a mistake of fact unless such mistake is satisfactorily established, and not inferred from loose, doubtful or unsatisfactory evidence.</p>
