520 _aCA 10 October 2001. The appellant (A) entered into a labour only subcontract with the respondent's (S) main contract (I), which owed A substantial sums when it was subsequently wound up. A alleged that it had only continued to supply labour after entering into an oral agreement that S would ensure it would be paid. S contended that this was a guarantee and that, as there was no written record, the Statute of Frauds 1677 s4 meant that it could not be enforced. "Held" : The appeal was dismissed. If, however, I had been a party to the arrangement it might have been possible to read it as facilitating the payment of I'd debts rather than meeting them after I had defaulted.
