Description
Defendant, Noren Pattern & Foundry Co., offered a job to plaintiff, Reginald Rowe, who was a longtime employee of another
foundry and was within 1-1/2 years of having his pension vest. Plaintiff was told he would have to become a member of the
union after 45 days. Plaintiff quit his job and went to work for defendant, but his employment was terminated after 43 days.
Plaintiff sued defendant, alleging an oral contract of employment. The Muskegon Circuit Court, Frederic A. Grimm, J., granted
a directed verdict for defendant at the close of plaintiff's proofs for the reasons that the contract violated the statute
of frauds and was a contract for permanent employment, which is a contract at will terminable with or without cause by either
party at any time. Plaintiff appeals. Held : 1. An oral contract which is capable of being completed in less than one year is not violative of the statute of frauds even
though it is clear that in all probability the contract will extend for a period of years. Plaintiff's contract with defendant
was conceivably capable of being completed within one year and is not violative of the statute of frauds.
