HOFFMAN V. CHAPMAN
34 A.2d 438 (1943)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the content of a deed. Hoffman (D),
purchasers, sought review of a decision, which entered a decree reforming their deed.
Chapman (P), sellers, claimed that the deed mistakenly misidentified the property conveyed.
FACTS: Chapman (P) agreed to sell part of lot 4 with an improved bungalow for $3,600 to
Hoffman (D). D was given immediate possession and when they went to settlement on the
property they were clearly under the understanding that they were only getting a part of lot
4 containing one dwelling. The deed given at settlement conveyed the entire lot. The mistake
was discovered sometime afterwards and D refused to deed back the other unsold portions. P
sued in equity to reform the deed on grounds of mistake.
