Can a vendor's name be filled in to give effect to the established intention of the vendor?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Saskatoon Motor Products Limited v. Schweitzer, 1957 CanLII 165 (SK CA):
There are many cases in which blanks in a contract have been filled in to give effect to the established intention of the parties and where the omission was due to an oversight, carelessness or neglect. In Bell v. Schultz (1912) 1912 CanLII 185 (SK QB), 2 WWR 491, 5 Sask LR 273, the vendor’s name was inserted in the appropriate blank spaces to effect the admitted intention of the parties. No third parties were involved in this action. The omission was an oversight.
