§ 467. ANNOTATIONS.

Cancelation distinguished from reformation.-Pleading.-A distinction must be observed between suits for reformation and suits for cancelation and rescission of a contract. In the former suits there must be shown not a mere mistake on one side, but a mutual mistake, or what is equivalent in the law to a mutual mistake, and, in addition, an enforceable contract of the tenor and terms sought to be established by the suit for reformation. On the other hand, cancelation or rescission proceeds upon the ground that there is no contract between the parties by reason of the mistake or fraud. Relief on evidence showing mistake may be had under a bill. the gravamen of which is fraudulent representation and undue influence, although the bill does not denominate the transaction as being one produced by mistake: Moehlenpah v. Mayhew, 138 Wis. 561, 119 N. W. 826, 830; Kyle v. Fehley, 81 Wis. 67, 51 N. W. 257, 29 Am. St. Rep. 866.

Parties. In an action to cancel a deed of trust, beneficiaries are not necessary parties defendant, since their interest is fully represented by the trustee: Watkins v. Bryant, 91 Cal. 492, 27 Pac. 775.
