A material mistake refers to a significant error or misunderstanding in a contract or agreement that affects its fundamental terms. This type of mistake can involve incorrect assumptions about facts, laws, or conditions that are essential to the parties' agreement. If proven, a material mistake may allow one or both parties to rescind or modify the contract. Courts typically assess whether the mistake was mutual or unilateral and whether it had a substantial impact on the contract's validity.
