My only regret in pointing this out is that I think Mr. Sandfort might owe someone a house. (I note he never put a dollar figure on the house bet though).
My offer (not enforceable under contract due to failure of consideration)
Not to mention the statute of frauds (as it was a transaction in real estate).
The British Parliament, in 1677, in order to prevent fraud arising out of an oral agreement passed the Act for the Prevention of Frauds and Perjuries. It requires there be specific evidence in writing of the agreement (called a 'memorandum'). Email isn't verbal, it's written and therefore does qualify at least peripheraly. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
