No, not in Ohio. You can find more information about contracts on any University and/or College Law Library website or within the codes located on 'Anderson Online' website.
When one of the parties to an oral contract has filed the matter w/a Court to enforce it, most Courts usually refer to the Ohio Contract Codes as reference to the transactions and/or agreements agreed to and/or breached to determine a ruling.
AnswerWith specific reference to the above answer I would be VERY CAUTIOUS about the general statement that verbal contracts are enforceable in the state of OHIO. In just two minutes I found two references (1) Certain types of verbal contracts are not enforceable in Ohio, including the sale of land and answering for anther's debt. And, (2) verbal contracts for amounts in excess of $500.00 are not enforceable.In any case - - regardless of wherever it is that you live, research this question carefully before making any serious commitments either verbally or in writing, all state's laws address this matter differently.
AnswerTo say that 'oral contracts' are enforceable in a certain state is misleading. Oral contracts are enforceable. The difficulty always lies in proving their existence. Convincing evidence that a contract existed between the parties must be presented to a judge. The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff.The best evidence is witnesses who were present at the time the oral contract was made and are willing to testify under oath. The judge will hear any testimony about the conduct of the parties. Credibility plays a role in the judge's decision and some judges have developed excellent skill in determining whose story is more credible.
The bottom line is that not every oral contract is enforceable, only those where the moving party can provide enough evidence to convince a judge that a contract existed and was breached.
