ABSTRACT
This article addresses three aspects of the law of ‘rectification’. The first is the importance of the labels used to name legal concepts, and the scope for confusion between so-called ‘rectification by construction’ and rectification in equity. The second is the proper scope of rectification in equity, which depends upon its relationship with common law rules and (in relation to wills) the role of statute which is more complex than may appear. The third concerns the operation of rectification in practice, in light of modern Evidence Acts.
