Roller v. California Pacific Title Ins. Co

In Roller v. California Pacific Title Ins. Co. (1949) 92 Cal. App. 2d 149, appellant sought to avoid enforcement of a contract to purchase real property by arguing that the contract, drafted by appellant himself, had misled him. The court found that the contract language was clear, stating: " 'Mistake to be available in equity, must not have arisen from negligence, where the means of knowledge were easily accessible.' " ( Id. at p. 153.)
