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.
Example: Suppose you live in New York, and have a job interview with a company in Los Angeles. The
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.
When you arrive in Los Angeles, the manager fails to hire you. You have suffered an injustice, and may be
able to recover damages (e.g., costs of your move and other losses) under the theory of promissory
estoppel.
