Relevant factsFree
Klewin (plaintiff) and Flagship (defendant) orally agreed that Klewin would serve as construction manager for a multi-year housing project, with no express duration term, and Flagship later replaced Klewin with another firm after an initial project phase; Flagship argued the oral agreement was unenforceable under the statute of frauds because the parties anticipated it would take three to ten years to complete, and the trial court granted Flagship summary judgment on that basis.
IssueFree
Whether an oral contract is unenforceable under the statute of frauds if it does not expressly state the period of time in which the contract is to be performed.
