Legal Question in Business Law in Texas
Verbal Contract Enforceable?
These will be made up names.
Smith sued Hammons for breach of a verbal contract in which Hammons agreed to hire Smith for a minimum of two years for $150,000.00 per year, plus living quarters, offices, and an assistant to develop and run a magic show for Hammons. The transaction did not occur and smith sued to recover in quantum meruit for providing valuable expertise in the entertainment business to Hammons. Hammons contended there were only negotiations, not a contract. Does Hammons defense hold up and why?

Re: Verbal Contract Enforceable?
Not enforceable because the 'contract' violates the Statute of Frauds.
