Which of the following can oral testimony not be accepted for under the Statute of Frauds?

The Statute of Frauds requires certain types of contracts to be in writing to be enforceable, and one of the categories it covers is contracts related to real estate. Oral testimony typically can be used to address issues such as clarifying ambiguities in a written agreement, demonstrating that fraud has influenced a contract, or showing that a modified agreement has taken place, assuming certain criteria are met.

However, oral testimony cannot be accepted to explain the meaning of a written contract in a way that contradicts or alters the original terms. The purpose of the Statute of Frauds emphasizes the importance of having a solid, written record for real estate contracts to prevent misunderstandings and fraudulent claims. Therefore, introducing oral testimony to explain or alter the written terms directly contradicts this protective aspect of the Statute. This ensures the integrity of the contractual agreement as formalized in writing.
