When does a party's partial or full performance vaildate an oral agreement?

The purpose of the Statute of Frauds is to prevent one party from committing perjury in regards to an agreement and to also prevent the enforcement of agreements “based on memories made faulty by the lapse of time or loose verbal statements.” Rowland v. Ewell, 174 So.2d 78, 80 (Fla. 2d DCA 1965). The Statute of Frauds, however, is a peculiar doctrine of contract law as there are a few exceptions that make an otherwise unenforceable oral agreement enforceable. This bLAWg focuses on two such exceptions: part performance (or partial performance) and full performance of an oral agreement.
