The Writing Requirement: Jason Novell, doing business as Novell Associates, hired Barbara Meade to work for him. The parties orally agreed on the terms of employment, including payment of a share of the company's income to Meade, but they did not put anything in writing. Two years later, Meade quit. Novell then told Meade that she was entitled to $9,602 - 25% of the difference between the accounts receivable and the accounts payable as of Meade's last day of work. Meade disagreed, and demanded more than $63,500 - 25% of the revenue from all invoices, less the cost of materials and outside processing, for each of the years that she had worked for Novell. Meade filed a lawsuit against Novell for breach of contract. Discuss whether or not there is an enforceable contract (including a discussion on the Statute of Frauds and any exception -if any - that may apply).
