California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 1 — Obligations in General, Title 4 — Extinction of Obligations, Chapter 5 — Novation, Section 1532
Novation is made by contract, and is subject to all the rules concerning contracts in general.
Notes
Requires a novation to be created by contract and subjects it to the general rules governing contracts. A substitution intended to operate as a novation must therefore satisfy ordinary contract requirements in addition to meeting the statutory rules describing the substitution of obligations or parties.
