Question

Maggie wants to plant a garden, and agrees to buy the land for $300. Later she agrees to buy a table for $300. Neither agreement was in writting. The agreement for the land is (enforceable/nonenforceable) and the agreement for the table is (enforceable/nonenforceable)?

Answer 1

The agreement for the land is nonenforceable. The agreement for the table is enforceable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The agreement for the land is nonenforceable because there was no written contract. In most jurisdictions, agreements for the purchase of land must be in writing to be enforceable. Without a written contract, there is no clear evidence of the terms agreed upon.

On the other hand, the agreement for the table is enforceable even without a written contract. In contract law, oral agreements can be legally binding, as long as there is clear evidence of a meeting of the minds and an offer and acceptance of the terms.
