GENEVA (Reuters) - The global airlines body IATA said on Monday it
had placed its last order for paper tickets, clearing the way for air
travel to be based entirely on electronic ticketing from June 1 next
year.

My, and it seems like only yesterday our resident licensed attorney,
Paul Tauger, was advising us that an e-ticket is not a written
contract, and that the statute of frauds precludes enforcement
of non-written contracts.


E-tickets are written contracts. And even if they weren't, the
statute of frauds only precludes the enforcement of certain non-
written contracts, not all of them. IIRC a non-written contract for
services is still enforceable under the statute of frauds unless it is
impossible to perform the services in one year - so a non-written
contract for an airline flight would be enforceable under the statute
of frauds.
