Which of the following is an exception to the UCC 2 Statute of Frauds requirement?

• A. The contract is for sale of goods not yet produced
• B. The contract is for service
• C. The contract is for custom-made goods
• D. The parties admit the contract in a judicial proceeding

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the UCC requires a writing for a sale of goods priced at $500 or more, but there are recognized exceptions. One clear exception is when the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in court that a contract for sale was made; in that situation the contract is enforceable only to the extent of the admission, even without a written agreement. This rule helps prevent a party from denying a contract exists after the other side has relied on it, and the admission is treated as evidence of the contract’s existence and terms.

So the option describing an admission in a judicial proceeding is the straightforward exception to the writing requirement. The other scenarios either depend on additional facts to qualify (such as goods being specially manufactured, which has its own criteria) or fall outside the UCC’s scope (a contract for services).
