Description

The resolution of this case requires the application of our rules relating to summary judgment to the claim of James K. Raymond (Raymond) that he is entitled to have a description of certain lands in a contract for the sale of land reformed because of mutual mistake of fact. The land Raymond claims was incorrectly described was the subject of a right of first refusal by Raymond. In disposing of the case by summary judgment, the district court ruled the seller, Donald M. Steen (Steen), had not received a bona fide offer from a third party, and Raymonds right of first refusal never ripened into an - Page 854 option to purchase. The district court also ruled there was no mutual mistake, nor was there a meeting of the minds between Steen and Raymond prior to the execution of the written contract. The decision of the district court held no genuine issues of fact existed as to either of its alternative rulings, and Steen and Schaub &; Gueck Enterprises, Inc. (S &; G) (the present record owner of the land) were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. We hold the record does disclose genuine issues of fact with respect to: the substantive law of mutual mistake; the concept of a meeting of the minds prior to the formalization of the contract in writing; and whether Steens conveyance to S &; G was intended to evade Raymonds right of first refusal. We reverse and remand the case for further proceedings.
