Radiophone Broadcasting Station v. Imboden

Both writs have been granted and this cause has been argued at the bar.

The only question involved is under the statute of frauds, Code section 7831, subsection 4, providing as follows :

“No action shall be brought:

‘‘ (4) Upon any contract for the sale of lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or the making of any lease thereof for a longer term than one year; or

“Unless the promise or agreement, upon which such action shall be brought, or some memorandum or note thereof, shall be in writing, and signed by the party to be charged therewith, or some other person by him thereunto lawfully authorized.”
