Heading: The Issues in the Case

Text: While there are a few subsidiary problems, hereinafter mentioned, the two main issues before us relate to the petitioners' contentions that the Court of Civil Appeals erred (1) in holding that the trial court was correct in refusing to give petitioners' requested special issues designed to submit petitioners' theory that the contract sued upon should be reformed because of a mutual mistake, and (2) in holding that the trial court correctly disregarded the jury's answers to special issues designed to submit petitioner's theory that respondents should not be allowed to recover upon the contract as written because of an asserted equitable estoppel. As both these holdings were made as a matter of law, we are required to view the facts from the standpoint most favorable to petitioners. In many respects, however, the facts are established by the undisputed evidence.
