英國契約法及民事證據法中口頭證據排除法則之研究. (Chinese)

The Parol Evidence Rule in English Contract Law and Civil Evidence Law. (English)

This paper analyses the historical origins and modern developments of the ‘Parol Evidence Rule (PER)’ in English contract law and civil evidence law. Three strands of the PER are identified by literature. The first strand related to the exclusion of evidence had been abolished. The second and the most controversial strand is connected to the proof of terms of contracts. Different opinions reflect the argument between subjectivism and objectivism of the contract law. The third strand related to the interpretation of contracts had also been abrogated. However, the exclusionary rule reaffirmed by the courts provides some space for it. In commercial practice, PER has been retained by adopting an Entire Agreement Clause. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
