Commercial Lease Question

[fedupconsumer]

Please help.

Signed a commercial lease at an agreed rent however - property handed over and each page signed by witness - only to find solictor has made a mistake on the rent. He ahs asked over the telephone if he can amend the lease and i have said no....can he just go ahead and amend it without my concent - even though he made the mistake? or can i be lucky and pay the amoun agreed on the lease...

In short, no.

Mistake can be a vitiating factor. The solicitor may claim that they were operating under a mistake and this vitiating factor may allow them to rescind the contract.

Thank you for the response.
Does this mean then that the solicitor cannot enforce the contract under new terms
by that i mean, amended lease without my consent-
is there case law to back this argument up anywhere?
