A dispute arose concerning a non-judicial settlement agreement, where one party claimed the agreement was voidable due to a significant mistake regarding the value of an asset central to the transaction, an error allegedly shared by the other party; the appellate court upheld the lower court's finding that the mistake was not so fundamental as to render the agreement voidable under contract law, as the parties had knowingly entered into a settlement involving an uncertain commercial evaluation, and the perceived error was based on subsequent, albeit unfavorable, market fluctuations rather than a misapprehension of the essential substance of the object of the contract at the time of formation.
