Fitzgerald v. Hunter Concessions, Inc.
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided April 30, 1998No. 97-CV-853PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
SCHWELB, Associate Judge:
Stuart Fitzgerald appeals from an order of the trial court which dismissed his action for breach of contract on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The trial judge held that Fitzgerald’s alleged oral agreement with Hunter Vending Company (HVC) and HVC’s successor, Hunter Concessions, Inc. (HCI), was barred by the statute of frauds. The judge also held that, even if the statute of frauds did not apply, the complaint failed to allege facts giving rise to an actionable breach by either defendant. We reverse.
