Description
1 Jan Easterday appeals a decision by the trial court finding that she breached a contract with Keith Hitzke. At trial, she argued that the contract was unenforceable because it involved an agreement for the sale of goods (a pony) over $500, which agreement was not in writing, thus violating the Statute of Frauds, WIS. STAT.§ 402.201(1). The trial court ruled that the Statute of Frauds did not apply, and she appeals that holding. This court has the authority to affirm a trial courts ruling for reasons other than those announced by the trial court where we can conclude from the record that the trial court was nevertheless correct. State v. Holt, 128 Wis. 2d 110, 124-25, 382 N.W.2d 679 (Ct. App. 1985). We affirm the trial court based on the doctrine of promissory estoppel.
