Contracts/Non est factum
From wikilawschool.net. Wiki Law School does not provide legal advice. For educational purposes only.
Template:Unreferenced Template:ContractLaw 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 void the contract.
