Kingsbury v. Villeneuve

Supreme Court of Vermont
Mar 19, 1984
475 A.2d 241 (Vt. 1984)

Opinion

No. 82-326

March 19, 1984.

Appeal from District Court of Vermont, Unit No. 5, Washington Circuit.


Where a contract is governed by the Statute of Frauds, in this case 12 V.S.A. § 181(5), "any changes made are subjected to the same requirements of form as the original provisions." Evarts v. Forte, 135 Vt. 306, 311, 376 A.2d 766, 769 (1977). Defendants' oral modification of the written contract is therefore unenforceable, and the judgment for plaintiffs is affirmed.
