Promissory Estoppel in Washington

Authors

Joseph D. Weinstein

Abstract

This comment clarifies the considerable confusion that befogs the promissory estoppel doctrine in Washington. Part I discusses situations in which a promisee, though unable to establish a traditional contract, can invoke promissory estoppel to obtain relief. Part II examines the elements of promissory estoppel identified in Hill and illustrates their application in various fact patterns.
