Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lew's promise is considered a suretyship, which under the Statute of Frauds requires a written agreement to be enforceable if the primary party (Nora) fails to pay. This is because Lew is guaranteeing the debt of another without receiving any personal benefit, making a written agreement necessary for enforceability.
