Oral Real Property Agreement Validity Dispute

A dispute arose concerning the validity of an oral agreement to sell real property, where the claimant alleged they had performed their obligations under this agreement, while the defendant contested its existence and alleged the claim was time-barred under prescription rules applicable to personal actions. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the lower court correctly determined that the alleged agreement, being a promise to transfer real property, required written evidence for its validity and enforceability, and thus the claim based on the purported oral contract could not be sustained, irrespective of the prescription argument.
