Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A buyer and seller agreed orally for the sale of a parcel of land for $200,000. The buyer paid $50,000 as a down payment and took possession of the land, where they began constructing a small storage unit. Before the transaction was completed, the seller repudiated and refused to transfer the title. The buyer sues to enforce the oral agreement. Which of the following is the BEST basis for the court to enforce the agreement?

  • The oral agreement is enforceable since the value of the land exceeded the threshold for oral agreements under the Uniform Commercial Code.

  • The payment of a portion of the purchase price demonstrates reliance on the contract.

  • The equitable principle that verbal agreements are enforceable when they are made in good faith.

  • The buyer's part performance, demonstrated by a down payment, taking possession, and making improvements to the land.
