Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a promise to be enforceable under the doctrine of promissory estoppel, the promisor must reasonably foresee that the promisee will rely on the promise to their detriment. In this case, if Heck relies on Gia's promise to sell him the fishing trawler and suffers a detriment as a result (such as turning down other offers or spending money to prepare for the purchase), Gia may be estopped from going back on her promise. The other options are not relevant to the application of promissory estoppel.
