In this episode, Professor Josh Galperin, Professor of Law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law interviews me about equitable remedies and promissory estoppel. Some key takeways... 1. Promissory estoppel is an equitable remedy, awarded for fairness when a legal remedy is not available. 2. Promissory estoppel is only available in the absence of a legal contract. 3. Promissory estoppel is available if       (1) the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance on the part of the promisee  (objective evaluation)       (2) the promisee did rely on the promise (subjective evaluation)       (3) injustice can only be avoided by granting a remedy About our guest...Professor Josh Galperin teaches contracts, administrative law and environmental law at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
