46. The following text has to do with whether or not a contract must be in writing before the courts will enforce it. Before you read the text try to think of at least two types of contract that, in your opinion, must be in writing.
1 There is no basic requirement that contracts be in writing signed by all the
parties. There is, however, a long history of statutory requirements that 3 certain contracts be proved by a signed writing or some other special form
of evidence. The history is reflected in the term "Statute of Frauds" in 5 deference to the 1677 English statute which singled out certain contracts
as requiring writing or special forms of proof. However, even if a particular t contract requires a writing, this does not mean that both parties must sign
it or that the signing occur at the time of contracting. The Statute of Frauds 9 is only concerned with the proof of the contract.
The English Statute of Frauds* addressed five types of contracts whiej it were commonly subject to perjured testimony. These were (1) promises
answer for the debt of another (guaranty contracts); (2). agreements 13 involving real property; (3) agreements that could not be performed with)" a year; (4) marriage settlement contracts; and (5) special promises to b is personally responsible for the debts of an estate (decedent). A sixth type.oi contract requiring a writing, also identified under an English statute, dea 17 with the sale of goods, that is, personal property. These statutes w& enacted, in substance, in the United States.
