Proprietary Estoppel is not dead. It has its usefulness and is still relevant today. Please see Taylor Fashions Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Trustees Co Ltd [1984] QB 133. This case arises due to the restrictive nature of the requirements laid down in Willmott v Barber (1880). The word "unconscionability" is use in Taylor Fashions case to provide the defect/weakness that Willmott v Barber creates.

Is there a difference between estoppel and promissory estoppel?

Yes, there is a difference between estoppel and promissory estoppel. Estoppel is a legal principle that prevents a party from arguing something contrary to a claim they previously made or accepted as true, often to avoid unjust consequences. Promissory estoppel, on the other hand, specifically applies when one party makes a promise that another party relies on to their detriment, even in the absence of a formal contract. In essence, promissory estoppel focuses on the reliance on a promise, while general estoppel pertains to preventing inconsistency in assertions.
