Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: contract law

The subject of the contract may determine the answer to your question.

Generally a contract does end when all the parties to that contract agree to cancel it. If one party does not agree to the cancellation and the contract is binding for a specific time period, until a specific event occurs, or a party to the contract has already relied to their harm on the contract, then at least some of the terms of the contract may still be enforceable in court.

Oral contracts may be enforced in court as long as they are not against public policy and do not cover certain topics for which the law requires a written or even notarized contract--for example, contracts relating to land.
