Legal Definitions - errore lapsus

Errore lapsus

Errore lapsus is a Latin term that means a mistake made through error. This type of mistake is usually not enough to cancel a contract.

For example, if someone accidentally writes the wrong date on a contract, that would be an errore lapsus. Another example is if someone mistakenly writes the wrong name of a person or company in a contract. These mistakes are not significant enough to make the contract invalid.

Overall, errore lapsus refers to small mistakes that are made unintentionally and do not have a significant impact on the validity of a contract.
