Assume that the Harts received the $5,000 check the same day as Buffaloe and the Harts made their handshake agreement in the Harts' front yard. The following morning, before Buffaloe as able to pay for improvements, make insurance reimbursements to the Harts, or take actions to sell the property, the Harts returned the check to Buffaloe unendorsed. The Harts said they wanted to keep the barns for themselves. Buffaloe argues that a contract to sell the sheds to him was formed. 1. A written contact that evidences the agreement satisfy the writing requirement.
2. A check satisfy the writing requirements for the Statute of Frauds.
3. Who must sign the writing?
4. Did the Harts sign the writing that Buffaloe gave to them?

1. A written contact that evidences the agreement CAN satisfy the writing requirement.

2. A check CAN satisfy the writing requirements for the Statute of Frauds.

But not in this case since the check was returned unendorsed.

3. Who must sign the writing?

The person against whom the contract is being enforced, in this case the Harts.

4. Did the Harts sign the writing that Buffaloe gave to them?

No they didn't, since the check was not endorsed.

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.

hope this
