GBA 231 Module 4 Discussion Latest-Saint Leo
Read the ETHICS section of your text on page 235. This section
describes a case in which a paralegal who had been orally promised a bonus of
$1,065,000 was deprived of the bonus in a dispute because no written agreement
existed as to the bonus as would have been required by the Statute of Frauds.
That an agreement was had was beyond dispute, because there
existed a (secret) recording detailing the promise of the bonus between the
paralegal and his/her employer.
As your text explains, the Statute of Frauds requires certain
types of contracts (such as contracts to buy or sale land) to be both made in
writing and executed with the physical signatures of all of the parties
involved.
This requirement was clearly not met. Further, the undisclosed
recording of the agreement constitutes a crime. Was a fair result handed down
in this matter? What, if anything, would you do to modify the Court’s decision?
