District Court, D. New Jersey April 16, 1987, Civ. 85-5580 (Kreuzburg v. Computer Sciences Corp.)

OPINION

BARRY, District Judge.

The law has always been reluctant to enforce oral promises because so often what the promisee hears differs from the intent of the promisor. The Statute of Frauds, codified in New Jersey at N.J.S.A. 25:1-5, bars enforcement of certain promises unless they are in writing.
