Promissory estoppel is a doctrine that prevents an injustice when a party has reasonably relied on another party's promise. This means that if a promisor makes a promise, and the promisee relies on that promise to their detriment, the promisor may be estopped (prevented) from reneging on the promise. This doctrine also requires that the promise be clear and definite, that the promisee has reasonably relied on the promise, and that enforcement of the promise is necessary to avoid an injustice. None of the other answer choices accurately describe this doctrine.
