Syllabus

The trial court erred by concluding that the writing evidencing an alleged option contract between plaintiff-appellee and defendants-appellants' predecessor trustee contained the essential terms of the alleged contract. In addition, the trial court erred by concluding that the doctrine of part performance applies to remove the alleged option contract from the operation of the statute of frauds. Accordingly, the trial court should have sustained defendants-appellants' objections to the magistrate's decision and determined that the alleged option contract is unenforceable.
