'''Non est factum''' – Latin for "it is not [my] deed" – is a doctrine in contract law that allows a signing party to escape performance of the agreement. A claim of ''non est factum'' means that the signature on the contract was signed by mistake, without knowledge of its meaning, but was not done so negligently. A successful plea would make the contract voidable. | '''Non est factum''' – [[Latin]] for "it is not [my] deed" – is a doctrine in [[contract law]] that allows a signing party to escape performance of the agreement.
