PS. I presume (and please correct me if I am wrong), your legal qualifications have Germanic origins?
unilateral mistake is very much English common law. (And USA as well.)

not relevant in USA to this case because of the DOT regs, but Swiss has tried to make it relevant for the RGN fares in the Canadian context.
