CIVIL
LAW: REFORMATION OF WRITTEN INSTRUMENTS; DEFINED
Reformation of an
instrument is that remedy in equity by means of which a written instrument
is made or construed so as to express or conform to the real intention
of the parties when some error or mistake has been committed. It is predicated
on the equitable maxim that equity treats as done that which ought to be
done. The rationale of the doctrine is that it would be unjust and unequitable
to allow the enforcement of a written instrument which does not reflect
or disclose the real meeting of the minds of the parties. However, an action
for reformation must be brought within the period prescribed by law, otherwise,
it will be barred by the mere lapse of time.
