Contracts/Parol evidence rule
From wikilawschool.net. Wiki Law School does not provide legal advice. For educational purposes only.
In law, the parol evidence rule forbids spoken evidence from being introduced to a jury or a judge to change the terms of a written contract. The rule allows spoken evidence only if a term of the written contract is ambiguous in which case the spoken evidence can be admitted into evidence for the purpose of resolving the ambiguity.
