Haspray v. Pasarelli

A contract for the sale of land shall be void unless the contract, or some note or memorandum thereof, expressing the consideration, be in writing and subscribed by the party by whom the sale is to be made. NRS 111.210. Whether the “writing” required by the statute is legally sufficient presents a question of law. The court to whom the written memorandum is submitted, looks to the writing alone to decide its adequacy. Resort to oral or parol evidence is not authorized for the purpose of providing essential terms.
