I did a job for a client where he promise to buy me land in exchange for my labour. After I did the work he failed to buy me any land. The agreement was not made in writing. What is my legal position?

Imho it seems to have all the elements needed for a contract (Offer, acceptance, consideration (the land in exchange for work done), intent to create legal relations.Originally posted by dyingdetective View Post
Did you complete as promised.
I guess your biggest hurdle is the fact that it was made orally.

yes it have all the elements of a verbal contract and I did do the work as agreed. My question is whether a contract relating to land MUST be in writing to be valid? Any case law for or against?Comment

Aside from the the oral contract that potentially was formed, do you have any evidence relating to it.
By this i mean letters, emails, texts, quotes, notes. Do you have anything relating to before or after?The information I supply is provided for informational purposes only and, should not be construed as legal advice.Comment
