Gianni hires Dolton to work as his driver with an annual salary of $100,000 for the rest of Dolton's life. After two years, Gianni decides to fire Dolton. Dolton claims they have a valid contract, but Gianni says it is barred by the statute of frauds because they never put anything in writing. Who is correct?

(A) Dolton, because the contract can be completed in one year because Dolton could die within a year of the contract's creation.

(B) Dolton because, even though the contract was not completed within one year, public policy does not support lifetime employment contracts that are not in writing.

(C) Gianni, because Dolton did not die during the year after the contract's creation.

(D) Gianni, because the contract cannot be completed in one year.

(E) Gianni, because Gianni did not sign any agreement and he is the party being charged.

    Explanation:

    In the above scenario, Giani is correct because unless the contracts are in writing and signed by both the parties, it is hard to go after the paying party. It remains invalid as soon as either party decides to step back.

    Therefore, Dolton would have nothing to show against Giani without a written proof of the contract made.
