Las Vegas Home Case Study

Decent Essays
Sorichetti enter a promise to exchange his Las Vegas home and a few household furnishings for $532,000. “For a promise to be enforced by the courts, there must be consideration” (Kubasek, Brown, Herron, Dhooge, & Barkacs, 2015, p. 182). In order for the court to enforce a promise the other party must have promised something in exchange. Zhang agreed to pay $532,000 in exchange for the title of the house and a few furnishing. Sorichetti agreed to it at the time. He then decided to stay in the house a little longer but would take more money in exchange to leave. It would be one thing if he changed his mind on the sale of the home and decided to stay in it. He did not stay in the house. Instead he asked for more money. This sounds like Sorichetti

    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.…
