Question

Popanz, the associate director of Peregrine Corp., was offered the position of director. She refused the position based on the oral promise made by the director when Popanz had been hired that she could retain her current position until she reached age 65, which would happen in several years. Three years later Peregrine terminated Popanz when it eliminated her position. She sued for breach of the promise of employment until 65. Is her claim barred by the statute of frauds? Explain.

Answer 1

There is no agreement covered in the promise. Popanz was only given an oral promise and there was no written contract or agreement that stayed her position will be retained until she reached aged 65.it is important that she has some proof to show that a promise Luke that was made. Otherwise she cannot sue for breach of promise of employment. A strong case is not formed if there isn't any proof to show the claim. It needs to reveal something strong for her to make a case
