On December 20, 2012, Liz decided to start arranging two vacations in Lake Placid, NY, for the summer and winter of 2013. After doing some research on the internet, Liz found a log cabin in Lake Placid that was available for rental in July 2013. She telephoned Bennett the owner, of the cabin, and Bennett orally agreed to rent her the cabin for the entire month of July 2013, in exchange for $1000 to be paid upon Liz's arrival in Lake Placid.

In response to an advertisement in Ice Fishing Weekly Magazine, Liz telephoned Carol, a fishing guide. On December 20, 2012 they orally agreed that Carol would take Liz fishing on Lake Placid on the afternoon of December 23, 2013.

b. Despite the conflict over the cabin, Liz decided to take the vocation anyway to Lake Placid. On the afternoon of December 23, 2013, Carol failed to show up for the fishing trip although she was fully able to do so. Liz sues Carol for breach of contract and Carol pleads the statute of frauds as a defense. Judgement for whom? Explain.
