s 22Effect of mistake as to law

A contract is not voidable because it was caused by a mistake as to any law in force in Brunei Darussalam; but a mistake as to a law not in force in Brunei Darussalam has the same effect as a mistake of fact.

Illustration

A and B make a contract grounded on the erroneous belief that a particular debt is barred by limitation: the contract is not voidable.
