What is the legal meaning and grounds of rectifications?
Rectification is a discretionary equitable remedy whereby an instrument which does not accord with the intentions of the parties to it, due to fraud or mistake, may be corrected.
-It is not the contract that is rectified but the instrument recording the contract.
What is instrument?
Instrument is when put writing as the means of giving formal expression to some act, writing expressive of some act, contract, process, as a deed, or contract.
It is the role of equity to uphold the intention of the parties in an agreement based on the equitable maxims “Equity looks to the intention, not the form”
-If the instrument recording the agreement does not reflect the true intention of the parties die to the common mistake or fraud, the equity will intervene and order rectification of the instrument/written contract.
The step in the formation of contract:

2) The agreement: In a written form
3) Rectified: rectified the agreement which should be in written form and inline with what have orally agreed upon.

Grounds for rectification basically are: 1. Mutual mistake, or 2. Fraud
