For the doctrine of promissory estoppel to apply: - correct answer ✔✔There must be a promise.
, The promise must lead the aggrieved party to follow a course of action that would otherwise not have
been taken.
The possible consequences of the action should reasonably be foreseeable by the promisor.
An action taken on the promise would be eligible for some relief only if a failure to provide relief would
result in injustice.

hiring manager assures you the job is yours (the promise).
You rely on the promise, resign your job in New York and sell your home, and move to Los Angeles. Your
actions are reasonably foreseeable based on the promise of the job.

able to recover damages (e.g., costs of your move and other losses) under the theory of promissory
estoppel.
