Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 802 de 1605
Which of the following contracts is LEAST likely to be required in writing under the Statute of Frauds?
a.An agreement that cannot be completed within one year
b.A contract for the sale of land
c.A promise to pay another person's debt (a guaranty)
d.An oral agreement to install a water heater tomorrow for $600
Explicación
The Statute of Frauds requires a writing for specific categories such as sales of land, promises to answer for the debt of another (guaranties), and contracts not performable within one year. A simple, fully performable-within-days job like installing a water heater tomorrow falls outside those categories and can be enforceable orally, though other laws (like home improvement contract rules) may separately require a writing.
