Legal agreement typos? Important?

[ItsNormanBatesLove]

I'm in the process of having a legal agreement drawn up - not by me but by the other party's solicitor.

The solicitor has made small errors in the agreement, such as a spelling mistake in one incidence of my name, spelling errors in my address etc.

Will these errors affect the legal enforceability of the agreement, should it ever need to be enforced?

If relevant, it's an agreement for the other party to pay me a sum of money by a certain date.

Thanks.

No. As long as the meaning of the agreement is clear and it clearly refers to you it will be enforceable. I'd still get these problems fixed if the agreement hasn't been finalised yet but it doesn't matter if they aren't.

Thanks @prh47bridge that's reassuring.

In general, English law is relaxed about errors that do not lead to ambiguity. No getting off a speeding ticket for a missing comma.

That said, in a profession where accuracy and attention to detail away from the written word are almost the job description, it would certainly raise my hackles. Obviously you can never find a mistake that isn't visible. But once you do find one, you can never quite know how many more there are to follow.
