Syllabus

Because the parties' written construction contract contained an obvious typographical error regarding the contractor's damages on termination for convenience, the trial court did not err when it reformed the parties' agreement to express the true intentions of the contracting parties. Because the parties' written agreement clearly and unequivocally set fort the contractor's margin for overhead and profit, the trial court erred when it relied on extrinsic evidence in finding that a different margin applied. Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part, and cause remanded for further proceedings.
