Not really, justifiable or reasonable reliance on the promise of another can prevent the promisor from offering the defense that there was no consideration for their promise. An enforceable contract requires an offer, an acceptance, and a consideration (or a bargained for exchange). Under the doctrine of Promissory Estoppel, a promise can be held enforceable as a quasi-contract when it would be reasonably foreseeable to the promisor that the promisee would detrimentally rely on their promise. In that case the promisor would be liable to the promisee for reliance damages and possibly even expectancy damages.
