Detrimental reliance (promissory estoppel), 181, 188 Cheeseman (2010) stated, "EQUITY: PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL The doctrine of promissory estoppel, or equitable estoppel, is another equitable exception to the strict application of the Statute of Frauds. The version of promissory estoppel in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts provides that if parties enter into an oral contract that should be in writing under the Statute of Frauds, the oral promise is enforceable against the promisor if three conditions are met: (1) The promise induces action or forbearance of action by another, (2) the reliance on the oral promise was foreseeable, and (3) injustice can be avoided only by enforcing the oral promise.Where this doctrine applies, the promisor is estopped ( prevented ) from raising the Statute of Frauds as a defense to the enforcement of the oral contract."

When promissory estoppel is used by the courts it is because there is NOT an enforceable contract present. true or false?

True. Promissory estoppel is applied by courts in situations where there is no enforceable contract, but one party has made a promise that the other party reasonably relied upon to their detriment.

What is the difference concepts between fraudulent misrepresentation and promissory estoppell?

Promissory estoppel is enforcement of a promise even where there is no binding contract. What you must prove for promissory estoppel vairous from state ot state, but usually includes (1) A clear and unambiguous promise; (2) Reasonable reliance upon the promise; and (3) Detriment to the promisee, caused by his or her reliance on the promise, and (4) it would be inequitable, i.e., unfair, not to enforce the promise. Fraud requires the additional proof that the promisor never intended to perform when s/he made the promise. Since fraud requires the same elements PLUS this adiditonal element, it would seem that a fraud claim to enforce a promise would never succeed if a promissory estoppel does not. However, you can use fraud to get damages for a misprepresented fact that is not a promise. A fact might mean a statement that certian facts exist. This type of fraud requires you to prove that a defendant made a false statement of fact, intending you to rely on it - or ought to have expected that you would rely on it - and you reasonably relied ot your detriment.

What are the differences between estoppel by negligence and estoppel by representation?

Estoppel by representation occurs when one party makes a false statement or representation that another party relies on to their detriment. Estoppel by negligence, on the other hand, arises when a party fails to exercise due diligence or care in a situation and the other party suffers harm as a result. In estoppel by negligence, the focus is on the negligent actions or inactions of the party rather than a deliberate misrepresentation.
