Detrimental Reliance Flashcards

Q

4 things to look for

A

1) Promise by the promisor
(2) Foreseeable reliance by the promisee
It is foreseeable by the promisor – an average reasonable person in the promisor’s position would know that the person would rely
(3) Actual reliance
(4) Justice requires enforcement of that promise
Because of the foreseeable and actual reliance, the promisee who actually committed this reliance has changed his position in some way and if we do not award money to this person then it would result in an injustice.
