Discharge by frustration?
A contract may be discharged by frustration. A contract may be frustrated where there exists a change in circumstances, after the contract was made, which is not the fault of either of the parties, which renders the contract either impossible to perform or deprives the contract of its commercial purpose. Where a contract is found to be frustrated, each party is discharged from future obligations under the contract and neither party may sue for breach. The allocation of loss is decided by the Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943.

Are oral agreement and contract void under law?
What I think you are trying to ask is whether oral agreements and oral contracts necessarily void under the law. Not necessarily. If you are purchasing goods for $500 or more, or for real estate, agreements must be in writing or something called the Statute of Frauds applies meaning you won't be able to uphold what you agreed to in court. For all other contracts, your state law will apply, but general contract law holds that as long as there is an offer and and acceptance for consideration, you have a contract, and the law will respect that contract (unless it is for some illegal purpose). Is it harder to prove an oral contract? Yes. Is it necessarily void? No.
