Does mistake invalidate contracts?
For a mistake to affect the validity of a contract it must be an "operative mistake", i.e., a mistake which operates to make the contract void. The effect of a mistake is: At common law, when the mistake is operative the contract is usually void ab initio, i.e., from the beginning. Therefore, no property will pass under it and no obligations can arise under it. Even if the contract is valid at common law, in equity the contract may be voidable on the ground of mistake. Property will pass and obligations will arise unless or until the contract is avoided. However, the right to rescission may be lost. Unfortunately, there is no general doctrine of mistake - the rules are contained in a disparate group of cases. This is also an area of confusing terminology. No two authorities seem to agree on a common classification, and often the same terminology is used to cover different forms of mistake.

Does ripping up a Bilateral Contract release the other party from their obligations?
It would probably depend upon who ripped it up and why. If both parties agreed to rip it up on the understanding that this would represent a mutual rescission or termination of the contract then it might well have that effect. If the contract were to be destroyed due to a mistake or dishonesty of one of the parties it would not necessarily relieve either party of its obligations. The court might seek additional evidence as to the terms of the contract, and uphold the validity of the contract.
