facts
Lever Brothers Limited (Lever Bruce) was a company that traded in West Africa through a subsidiary called Niger Company, a 99% owned company in West Africa. Lever Bruce hired DRC Cooper to become chairman and deal with the crisis. Cooper joined his friend, Ernest Bell, in 1923 as chairman of the Niger Company, who joined as senior Barclays manager. Mr. Selening, a tax consultant who successfully obtained a large tax return from Lever Bruce in 1921, was also appointed Vice Chairman. Bell Lever Bruce was promised 30,000$ by company executives after working hard to increase profits.
However, much later, and before paying 30,000$, it became clear that Bell had been involved in regional cartels and illegal activities. Lever Bruce tried to withdraw the bonus citing a unilateral error.

held
In order to cancel an error, the error must be in the main part of the agreement. Violation is basically an assumption that the parties have not reached an agreement. The Bell agreement was not close enough to deviate from the agreement.
