Parole evidence refers to evidence that is outside of the written contract, including oral agreements or other agreements inferred through conduct, that can be used to interpret or supplement the terms of the contract. Past practice (A) refers to a pattern of behavior or decision-making that has been consistently followed over time and has become an established practice within a workplace. Common law of the shop (B) is a term used to describe the unwritten rules and practices that govern behavior and decision-making in a workplace or industry. Just cause (C) refers to the requirement that an employer have a valid reason for taking disciplinary action against an employee, and may be defined within a collective bargaining agreement or other employment contract. None of these terms directly refer to evidence that is outside of the written agreement like parole evidence does.
