Chad agreed to sell his house to Doug. They met at the lawyer's office and signed a formal contract to sell the house, price and all terms were included in the agreement. They both signed the agreement and left it in the lawyer's office. Chad had an unsigned copy of the agreement but the lawyer had the only signed copy. There was a fee dispute with the lawyer and he would not give anyone the signed copy unless his fee was paid in full.

Chad sued to enforce the agreement. Doug asked the judge to dismiss the case because Chad could not produce a signed contract. Doug did not deny that he met with Chad and "signed some papers in the lawyer's office". Who will win and why?
