plaintiffs only recourse in the lower court had been to show that “equitable considerations-justified taking the contract out from under the Statute of Frauds” where contract for the sale of’land was prepared by defendant, signed by plaintiff, and never signed by defendant). The statute of frauds anticipates a written contract signed by both partiés. The primary exception to the expectation of two signatures arises from the language of the statute which requires only a writing “signed by the party' to be charged therewith.” Subject to the substantive requirements of offer, acceptance, and consideration, a written contract may be enforced against a party who has signed it even if the other has not.
