Swedish term
förklaringsmisstag
Swedish to English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
In a contract, one party is entitle to unilaterally make changes in reference to bla, bla, bla, and "uppenbara skrivfel och andra förklaringsmisstag." I get a few hits for "mistakes of explanation" - surely it should be "errors of explanation"? - but is that a thing in English contract law? Legal eagles, your thoughts, please.

mistake in expression
It usually refers to situations in which there is a flaw or mistake in the way something is described or articulated in a legal agreement. This can include situations in which a contract provision contains incorrect or ambiguous wording or phrasing, resulting in a misunderstanding or incorrect interpretation of the intended meaning.

mistake in declaration of intent
Mistake made by the offeror in a contract, such as saying or writing "three" and meaning "thirty". He will usually be bound by this mistake if the offeree relies on it in good faith and does not suspect it is wrong; however, he will not be bound by it if the offeree knows or should have known that it was indeed a mistake.

: a high confidence level, neither with any refs., nor any tie-up with any specialist contract or tortious term of art in Anglo-Can. law, such as a 'nevertheless binding / irrevocable' *fraudulent (mis-) representation*.

I'm unsure if Canadian law has the same catrgories. - hence or ergo, middle-level confidence.

Example sentence:
Regeln om förklaringsmisstag ger uttryck för en princip som kallas för tillitsprincipen. Tillitsprincipen går ut på att en avtalspart som är i god tro skall skyddas.
Din motpart åberopar vad som inom avtalsrätten brukar kallas för förklaringsmisstag, vilket är en ogiltighetsgrund som regleras i 32 § 1 st. AvtL.

: From what I gather, this is not that harsh nor lays blame or liability. It simply means that an offerer is bound to the mistaken terms if the offeree accepted them in good faith, and is not if the offeree realises that this is a mistake.

You, who ostensibly have never studied the law of contract or tort of any legal system, have also - with a mind of your own - still learned something in your routine opposition.
