Damages refer to the monetary compensation recoverable by a person who has been injured due to the act or default of another. This can include physical harm, property damage, or violation of rights.
Parol Evidence concerns the use of oral agreements made prior to or at the time of writing a contract. The Parol Evidence Rule states that such oral agreements are generally inadmissible in court to contradict written agreements, except in cases of mistake or fraud.
A tort is a wrongful act or an infringement of a right (other than under contract) leading to civil legal liability. It is distinct from criminal acts and contract breaches, but it nonetheless renders the perpetrator liable to the victim for damages.
