James plans to buy two acres on the edge of a town in Iowa, and he is planning to build a ten-story building which will have a funeral home on three floors, a restaurant for reception luncheons on one floor, and offices for his casket and urn businesses on two floors. He plans to rent out the remaining floors. James is in negotiations with Sam, who owns the two acres. James tells Sam that he plans to build a ten-story building on the two-acres, and Sam tells James that town zoning regulations allow ten-story buildings to be built on the land he is buying. In fact, the town zoning regulations prohibit buildings higher than two stories. (Neither James nor Sam know this fact.) James buys the two acres, and then he discovers that the local zoning regulations prohibit him from building his ten-story building on the two acres. James sues Sam, asserting that there has been a mutual mistake of fact, so the contract can be rescinded. James no longer wants the two acres if he cannot build his ten-story building. Sam does not want James to rescind the contract. Will James be able to rescind the contract for the sale of the two acres?
