2. The _________ ____________ Rule states when once a contract is written, it cannot be changed without consent of both parties.

Explanation

The Parol Evidence Rule is a legal principle that states that once a contract is written, it cannot be changed without the consent of both parties. This means that any prior oral or written agreements, negotiations, or understandings that were not included in the written contract are generally not admissible as evidence to contradict or add to the terms of the contract. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the written contract is the final and complete expression of the parties' agreement.

Explanation

General damages are awarded for non-monetary losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages are not easily quantifiable and are meant to compensate the injured party for the harm they have suffered. Compensation, on the other hand, refers to the act of providing monetary payment or reimbursement to the injured party for their losses, expenses, or damages incurred as a result of the wrongdoing or negligence of another party.

This principle is based on the idea that the injured party should not be able to claim excessive damages if they could have reasonably prevented or minimized them.

It is a legal doctrine that allows a plaintiff to establish a presumption of negligence based on the circumstances of an injury.

The doctrine recognizes that certain accidents or injuries are so obviously the result of negligence that no further explanation is needed.

Explanation

When a statement is true, it means that it accurately reflects the reality or facts about a person's character.

This means that the plaintiff only needs to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, showing that it is more likely than not that the defendant is responsible for the harm or wrongdoing. Therefore, it is easier to find someone guilty in a civil case compared to a criminal case due to the difference in the burden of proof.

125. Unconscionable transactions is when the judge feels that the bargain was unfair due to the following 3 cases: _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________

Explanation

Unconscionable transactions occur when a judge determines that a bargain was unfair. This can happen in three cases: lopsided bargaining power, where one party has significantly more influence or control over the transaction than the other; abuse of authority, where one party takes advantage of their position or power to exploit the other; and breach of fiduciary duty, where a person fails to act in the best interests of another party due to a position of trust or responsibility. These three factors contribute to the judge's assessment of whether a transaction is unconscionable.
