September 24, 20102010 Ala. LEXIS 178

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s summary judgment, holding that a deed given as a gift may be reformed on the grantor’s unilateral mistake, that parol evidence is admissible to prove such mistake, and that the trial court did not err by invoking unconscionability as a descriptive term. The decision rests on established equitable principles and statutory authority.
