Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal from a judgment rescinding a real estate transaction on the ground of mutual mistake. The purchasers are plaintiffs Carl H. and Edith L. Garrison. The sellers are defendants Chandler Price Berryman and Dorothy Berryman. Defendants appeal from the judgment rescinding the transaction and returning plaintiffs' purchase price of $6,000, plus interest. The facts are rather complex and by virtue of the issues raised they must be set forth in some detail. The parties actively involved in the factual situation are Carl H. Garrison and Chandler Price Berryman and, for simplicity, we will refer to them as plaintiff and defendant, respectively. The real estate in question is situated in Coffeyville, Kansas. In approximately 1955, defendant purchased a tract of land which included what ultimately became Lot 5. Sycamore Creek runs through the tract and at the time of defendant's purchase of the land he received a topographical map of the area showing the high water mark to be 730 feet. Defendant built his residence on what became Lot 6 of the tract and was residing in that home at all times relevant to his dealings with plaintiff. Defendant is a former chairman of the planning and zoning commission of the City of Coffeyville.
