Texas Supreme Court

James T. Taylor and Son, Incorporated v. Arlington Independent School District

April 27, 1960160 Tex. 617

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals' remand, holding that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because genuine issues of fact existed as to whether a remediable unilateral mistake occurred and whether ordinary negligence barred equitable relief. The Court clarified that ordinary negligence does not automatically preclude rescission of a public contract bid.
