What does PAROL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
legal
Given or expressed by word of mouth rather than in writing, especially of evidence, contracts or agreements.
Parol is best known through the legal phrase parol evidence, oral testimony offered about the terms of an agreement rather than the written document itself. Courts developed the parol evidence rule to limit when such spoken testimony can be used to add to, contradict or explain a written contract. The word can also describe a contract or lease that was agreed orally rather than sealed and signed. Outside law it rarely appears, since ordinary English simply says spoken or verbal.
