California Court of Appeal

In action for fraud in the inducement of an automobile lease, parol evidence rule did not bar claims for violations of Civil Code section 1770 and Business & Professions Code section 17200; however, where alleged oral representations were "directly at variance" with lease's provisions, summary judgment on common law fraud claim was proper.
