Entire agreement clause: Difference between revisions

{{g}}A clause designed to buttress the time-honoured [[parol evidence]] rule, that if it is clear you meant to entirely reduce your agreement to writing, once you have done so the agreement, and no other extraneous evidence, will be the tribunal’s only guide to divining its intention. Reduces a certain amount of uncertainty, certainly, but at what cost? Litigation expense, for one thing: a clause we imagine was meant to close the door on litigation has, all the same, managed to generate quite a lot of the stuff.
