Joseph Harris v. Bertha L. Uhlendorf, as Executors of Frank A. Ludlam, and Title Guarantee Company

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order granting reformation of the deed of sale to the defendants and dismissing the title guarantee company's counterclaims, holding that a mutual scrivener's mistake warranted deed reformation but no such mutual mistake existed for the title policy. Justice Scileppi dissented, arguing that the title policy should also be reformed to match the deed.
