Surely a mistake is when they say "The rate is now £400/day", then the contract comes through, and it says eg £425, and you knowingly don't tell them.
Retrospectively back dating a rate cut further, when that new figure was never mentioned to you can't possibly be enforceable can it?Comment

He wasn't sure whether he wanted to stay, but I pointed out he had them by the nuts and he quite happily renewed for £150 extra p/d. They're almost certainty losing money on him but that's the price they pay for screwing up.
It's not their god given right to make a profit and it's their own problem if they failed to push a rate reduction on to you. They can only do this going forward where you have the ability to say "no thanks" and leave.Comment
