smoot presided over the thing and said that portis promised the money and nothing was ever said about ohalete staying on the team, so he thought portis owed the money.

no, informal agreements are good enough in most cases (if they're written down and signed)... in this case i believe it was and smoot was also present (he observed the deal being made and its details, as well as seeing the two parties agree to it). Even if it wasn't written down, an objective witness would probably be enough for a court here.
