The
Statute of Frauds Johnny needs to buy a lawn mower. His lawn is relatively
modest, so he began looking for an affordable model. His friend, Mark, also
needed a lawn mower. His yard was much larger, so he went to Johnny and said
“Johnny, we both need a lawn mower. Why don’t we go shopping and get the lawn
mower together.” Johnny and Mark found a suitable lawn mower for $10,000.
Johnny actually talked to the salesmen. And the salesmen agreed to extend
Johnny a loan to purchase the lawn mower if Mark would orally contract to stand
as a surety for Johnny if the payments were not made on time. For two months,
Mark uses the lawn mower more than anyone. But then Johnny fails to make
payments and the salesman sues Mark under the oral contract. What will be the likely
disposition of the case? The requirements below must be met for your paper to
