18. Can I recover even if I don't have a signed contract?

Modern legislation in Mexico legally binds a party to a commercial transaction even when no written agreement has been executed, or no documentary evidence is accounted for. In support of such trend, the Vienna Convention provides that no international transaction will need to be executed in writing or that upon controversy written evidence will be required. If you can show that you honored your end of the bargain, we can usually enforce your rights to recover.

The offset to this situation is that witnesses will be most dependable for your cause of action in a contested lawsuit. Sometimes when there is enough documentary evidence to support your claim, a witness testimony will not be necessary, especially when debtor has recognized the exhibited documents as true and correct.
