The English Statute Of Frauds In Washington, John I. Neff

Washington Law Review

This Comment is concerned with the problem of whether the Washington statutes have entirely displaced the English statute in regard to the requirement of a writing and with some of the problems presented by the application of the statutes of frauds in Washington.
