CASE: Goods and Services - The Statute of Frauds (Ch. 11), Heilbron Gallivan Rosenstein, LLC
FACTS: A catering business offered holiday (travel) packages, which included entertainment and theological seminars, as well as food. One such package was made available at a resort in New York for the Jewish holiday of Passover. Prior to his stay, Brent Israel agreed via phone to pay Heilbron $25,040 for the Jewish holiday event for his family, including himself. However, Israel did not show up at the resort and did not pay anything. Heilbron sued Israel for breach of contract. Israel argued the contract was not enforceable due to it not being written. His lawyer claimed that because the contract was not in writing, it violated the UCC's Statute of Frauds.
ISSUE: Is the contract valid? Explain. How do you rule in this case?
