statute of frauds

[Valdamc]

Jurisdiction

Arizona

how should a defendant respond to a lawsuit based on a contract that falls within the statute of frauds but that is not evidenced by a writing?

 

[adjusterjack]

You're going to have to provide a lot more detail than that.

Like:

Who is suing who and why and for how much?
What did the oral contract oblige the parties to do?

Start with that.

Meantime, the defendant should read and understand the AZ Statute of Frauds and its exceptions:

2017 Arizona Revised Statutes :: Title 44 - Trade and Commerce :: § 44-101 Statute of frauds

By alleging the statute of frauds as an affirmative defense.
