Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because a contract that is rendered void for mistake is considered to have never existed, which means that ownership of the goods would never have passed and the third party would not have acquired valid title to the goods. As a result, they would not be entitled to retain the goods and would have to return them to the original owner.
