Cal.Sup.Ct.
S190581

The California Supreme Court affirmed a decision of the court of appeal. The court held that the Pendergrass rule limiting the fraud exception to the parol evidence rule, as set forth in Bank of America etc. Assn. v. Pendergrass (1935) 4 Cal.2d 258, was contrary to both statutory and case law construing the fraud exception to the parol evidence rule and, for that reason, could no longer be deemed good law.
