合同与履行第 841 / 1605 题
Which of the following is generally an EXCEPTION where evidence outside the written contract may still be admitted despite the parol evidence rule?
a.To add a term the party forgot to negotiate
b.To show the contract was procured by fraud
c.To contradict a clear, integrated term the party now dislikes
d.To simply change the agreed price because a party regrets it
解析
The parol evidence rule has recognized exceptions: outside evidence may be admitted to show fraud, duress, mistake, illegality, or lack of consideration, to clarify an ambiguity, or to prove a separate collateral agreement. Proving that the contract was induced by fraud is a classic exception. The rule still bars using outside statements merely to contradict clear integrated terms, to rewrite the price out of regret, or to insert forgotten terms.
