The parol evidence rule governs the admissibility in court of oral evidence. In this scenario, it may be important for Carmen to prove that they were induced to enter into the contract by Brenda's misrepresentation of sole ownership. However, if the written contract includes Brenda's parents as co-owners, the parol evidence rule would generally exclude any oral evidence that contradicts or varies the terms of the written contract.
