    The word that the lower court left out of its opinion was “material” from in front of the word “breach.” I believe that Mills’ hope was that this omission would somehow exonerate them from the actual breach they committed (since I agree with the ruling), that since they did not provide the materials necessary for Double Diamond to complete their work, construction was halted and that was not considered a breach on the part of Double Diamond. Had Double Diamond had the proper materials, which they dutifully sought from both Mills and ABC (the supplier that Mills used), the project would have been completed. The appellate court found that there was enough evidence to imply that there was a material breach (i.e.: there was no need to spell out…

    Promissory Estoppel Essay

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This essay seeks to discuss the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel and the Doctrine of Consideration, as well as a clear analysis, with the use of case law, how Promissory Estoppel has become an exception to the general principle that a promise may only be enforced if it is supported by good consideration; it will ultimately conclude whether or not a promise to accept a smaller sum in discharge of a larger sum, if acted upon, is binding notwithstanding the absence of consideration. A contract is a legally binding agreement in law between two or more parties, which is enforced by law or by binding arbitration if it covers the elements of a valid legal agreement. For there to be a valid contract, three elements must be present, offer, acceptance, and consideration. If there is no consideration, there is no contract; however, with promissory estoppel instead of consideration, if there is a promise which induces reliance, the court would find some sort of liability for the promise.…
