This scenario involves a defendant (Lee) using the doctrine of promissory estoppel as a defense against the plaintiff's insistence on their full legal right. Lee had relied on the promise made by the plaintiff to forgive some of their legal obligation. This scenario fits the definition of promissory estoppel, which is the legal principle that a promise made by one party to another, which induces the other party to rely on that promise, is binding when the promise is reasonably relied upon.
