单词 | non est factum |
释义 | non est factum non est factum 'it is not the deed,' in English law the plea that what seems to be a person's deed is not. It is usually raised when there has been a mistake as to the nature of the transaction. The courts do not accept it lightly: see United Dominions Trust v. Western [1976] QB 513. Where old and infirm people sign things thinking they are not legal documents, the plea is more likely to be successful. |
