Even the law itself contains the notion that it is lawful to lie. It is embodied in ... the notion of "parole evidence"....parole evidence basically means the court will not accept verbal agreements and therefore you must write down contractual terms.
Huh? Where did you go to law school?
Please check your dictionary before posting such nonsense.
Parole evidence just means oral evidence. The law certainly does accept verbal agreements in many cases. In fact, most contracts are oral. Virtually every time you buy groceries, or books, or clothing, you have engaged in an oral contract -- no paper, except a check, which is payment, not a contract. If I rent you an apartment on a month-to-month lease we can have a completely valid, fully enforceable contract. The statute of frauds requires a limited certain contracts to be in writing, but if you are a normal American you engage in many, many perfectly binding oral contracts every day.
Parole evidence is evidence given in Court to clarify terms of a written contract which are not clear on their face, to define the terms of an oral contract, or to cover terms in a written contract which are not included in the four corners of the contract.
That's a bit loose as a definition, but will do fine for here. The point is, in no way does parole evidence have anthing to do with courts not accepting verbal contracts. |
