Contracts for sale or lease of land for periods in excess of 1 year void unless in writing
Applied in 18 court decisions — leading case Zunino v. Paramore (1967)
Most recently applied in Shults v. Faulkiner (In re Faulkiner) (November 2018)
[57:9:1861; B § 285; BH § 2626; C § 2696; RL § 1071; NCL § 1529] + [58:9:1861; B § 286; BH § 2627; C § 2697; RL § 1072; NCL § 1530]
Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
