In Stevens V

In Stevens v. Publicis, S.A., the courts addressed the statute of frauds issue of what constitutes a writing in today's cyber world and determined that:

A) technology aside, a writing must contain an original signature to create a true contract.
B) since e-mail could be written by anyone, an e-mail must be followed by a document with an original signature.
C) an e-mail with the sender's typed signature shows an intent to authenticate the contents and satisfies statute of frauds requirements.
D) the statute of frauds requires that certain contracts be in writing to be enforceable but does not address or concern itself with signatures.
