In Works v. Works, the Court held that it will exercise its discretion to set aside the contract only if satisfied that it would be unfair or unjust to enforce it, where one party was mistaken about something significant in the contract. The Court will not automatically set aside the contract on the basis of the doctrine of mistake, and the mistake does not need to render the contract illegal for it to be set aside. Additionally, the Court may still set aside the contract even if the mistake was not the result of willful blindness.
