For $100 each, Helen agrees with Troy Tech to knit 12 sweaters for the soccer team in their school colors with their names on the front and "Go Tech" on the back. After Helen has almost finished the last sweater, Troy Tech decides it should spend the money on repairs to the locker room instead of on the sweaters. Does Helen's contract have to be in writing for her to enforce it?

No. This is because the contract is on specially manufactured sweaters which both parties agreed on.

Explanation:

A contract can be described as a spoken or written agreement that is legally binding between two or more parties relating to sales, rendering of services, tenancy, employment, and among others. The aim of a contract is to ensure that each party to the contact performs his duty and their rights are protected.

From the definition above, it obvious that a contract can be spoken or written. Therefore, Helen's contract does not have to be in writing for her to enforce it since they both agreed on the agreed to make specially manufactured sweaters.
