Give Contract Amendments Their Own Integration-Plus Clauses

Written By Kevin McKernan

Include "integration-plus" clauses in written contracts to insulate clients from claims of fraudulent inducement.

The inclusion of an integration clause may not be sufficient to ward off fraudulent inducement claims. A written contract should include "integrated-plus" language to maximize the fraud-insulating benefit of the parol evidence rule. Merely incorporating by reference an original contract's integration-plus clause into an amendment of the contract may not insulate a client from a fraudulent inducement claim.
