A party challenged a judgment that upheld a contractual rescission based on allegations of error concerning the principal substance of the contract, arguing that the lower court failed to properly assess the materiality of the alleged error, especially given that the erroneous assumption was known to the counterparty; however, the high court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the trial court's finding that the error was not substantial enough to vitiate consent, based on its factual appreciation of the circumstances surrounding the contract's formation and the actual motives of the parties, was sufficiently reasoned and did not constitute a misapplication of the relevant civil code provisions concerning vitiated consent.
