It has become even more important in the State of California to require all parties to a contract to read the contract for themselves before they sign it. In Riverisland Cold Storage v. Fresno-Madera Credit Assn. (2013) 55 Cal.4th 1169, the California Supreme Court overturned 75 years of case law. In a shift in paradigm, the California Supreme Court held that evidence, which may tend to prove fraud of a contract, could be accepted into evidence to prove the contract void or voidable.
