520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Examines "Actionstrength v International Glass Engineering InGl En SpA and another" (CA 10 October 2001, X116027) which addressed the validity of oral agreements. An oral agreement had been arranged whereby Saint-Gobain promised Actionstrength it would pay for the work done if its Italian main contractor couldn't pay. The subcontractor carried out £1.3m of work but didn't get paid by Saint-Globain because according to the Statute of Frauds 1677, an oral contract to accept liability for another person's debt or future debt will not be enforced in court. As there was no written contract, Saint-Gobain won the case. View judgment at www.courtservice.gov.uk.
