For the most part, the formal and evidentiary requirements discussed in this podcast concern those contracts required to be evidenced in writing under s.2 of the Statute of Frauds (Ireland) Act 1695 and other evidential requirements under the statute in order that such contracts be enforceable. This is another very antiquated element of contract law which has come under criticism but generally still makes sense, even if the exceptions are nearly more important in practice than the basics of the rule itself.
