extrinsic evidence

Read a random definition: empresario

A quick definition of extrinsic evidence:

Extrinsic evidence is information that relates to a contract but is not written in the contract itself. It comes from other sources, like conversations between the parties, the circumstances surrounding the agreement, and the parties' subsequent actions. If a contract is clear and easy to understand, extrinsic evidence is not needed. However, if there is confusion or disagreement about what the contract means, a court may look at extrinsic evidence to help interpret it. The parol evidence rule generally prevents extrinsic evidence from being used to contradict or change the terms of a written contract, but it may be allowed in certain situations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extrinsic evidence is information that relates to a contract but is not included in the written agreement. This evidence comes from other sources, such as statements made by the parties, circumstances surrounding the agreement, and general trade practices. It helps to provide context to the transaction between the parties.

Extrinsic evidence is used to interpret a contract when there is ambiguity or a gap in the written agreement. However, if a contract is unambiguous, no extrinsic evidence is needed. The parol evidence rule prohibits the use of extrinsic evidence that contradicts or varies a term in a writing that the parties intended to be completely integrated.

For example, if two parties sign a contract to sell a car for $10,000, but one party claims that they agreed to sell the car for $9,000, the parol evidence rule would prevent the use of any extrinsic evidence that supports the $9,000 price.

However, if there is ambiguity in the contract, extrinsic evidence can be used to interpret the agreement. For example, if a contract states that a seller will deliver "widgets" to a buyer, but does not specify the quantity or type of widgets, extrinsic evidence such as prior conversations between the parties or industry standards can be used to determine the intended meaning of "widgets."

Overall, extrinsic evidence helps to provide context and clarity to a contract when needed.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
