3. The Statute of Frauds has two different applications: one with the UCC (contracts for the sale of goods) and one with certain contracts not involving the sale of goods. The UCC provision is simple - if the contract involves the sale/lease of goods and it is for $500 or more, then the contract must be in writing to be enforceable under the UCC's Statute of Frauds - UCC 2-201(1), 2A-201(1). The "other" Statute of Frauds kicks in and requires that the contracts be in writing under the following circumstances:

contracts involving interests in land (sales or leases)
an executory contract that cannot be performed within one year
contracts to pay the debt of another
contracts made in consideration of marriage (prenuptial agreement)
