The Statute of Frauds:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Statute of Frauds requires that certain types of contracts, such as contracts for the sale of real property or contracts that cannot be performed within one year, be evidenced by a writing in order to be enforceable. It does not require that all contracts be in writing, nor does it provide a remedy for fraudulent acts or require notarization. It does limit the types of evidence that can be used to prove the terms of the contract, but this is not its primary purpose.
