X, an organiser of art exhibitions, contracted with Y for an exhibition to be
held on 24 to 27 July. These dates were the only dates mentioned during

of this clause, but Y was not. Thereafter, X changed the dates. X had no
reason to believe that Y would have signed the contract if he had known of
the term. This is a case of 1. an error in persona. 2. a non-material mistake.

error in negotio. Clear my choice
This scenario is a case of a material error and an error in negotio.
