A mutual mistake exists where the contractual language does not reflect the parties’ meeting of the minds in some material respect. To prevail on a reformation claim based on mutual mistake, the party advancing the claim must prove a mutual mistake by both parties that resulted in either (1) an omission of an agreed upon provision or (2) the addition of a provision not agreed upon. Slutzky v. Gallati, 97 A.D.2d 561, 561 (3d Dep’t 1983).
