Kingsbury v. Villeneuve

Kingsbury v. Villeneuve
Supreme Court of Vermont · Decided March 19, 1984
144 Vt. 648; 475 A.2d 241; 1984 Vt. LEXIS 467

Kingsbury v. Villeneuve

Opinion of the Court

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.
