合同与履行第 801 / 1605 题
Under the Statute of Frauds, which type of agreement generally must be in writing to be enforceable?
a.Any contract regardless of subject or duration
b.An oral agreement to paint a fence next week for $300
c.A same-day handshake to haul away debris
d.An agreement that by its terms cannot be performed within one year
解析
The Statute of Frauds (Civil Code §1624) requires certain contracts to be in writing and signed, including agreements that by their terms cannot be performed within one year, contracts for the sale of real property, and suretyship promises to answer for another's debt. Short-term, quickly performed jobs like a next-week fence painting or same-day debris hauling need not be written. The statute targets specific categories, not every contract.
