Chapter 15, Casses For Review Section, Page 276
Lewis orally agreed two sell Hughes a house trailer for $5000 cash. Shortly after the oral agreement was made, Hughes informed Lewis that he would not pay the full $5000 in cash. He wanted to pay it over a period of time or to pay Lewis $3500 immediately in full settlement. Lewis sued for breach of the oral contract. Hughes contended that an oral contract for a sale of goods of $5000 or more was not binding under the status of frauds unless it was in writing. During the trial, however, Hughes repeatedly testified that he had informed Lewis that he would purchase the mobile home for $5000 cash.
