Consideration is not a requirement for the doctrine to apply, but rather the promise must be reasonably relied upon and the reliance must result in a detriment to the promisee. However, if there is a contract with adequate consideration, the doctrine of promissory estoppel may still be used to enforce a promise that modifies the terms of the contract.
