Abstract

This chapter considers how promissory and proprietary estoppel intersects with the law of contract. Where an agreement is unenforceable at contract law because some legal prerequisite or formality has not been met, that role is played by the law of estoppel. The law of estoppel works by deeming a party to be legally prevented (‘estopped’) from going back on something she has in the past asserted, promised, or accepted. The effect of estoppel is to hold the person to that past assertion or promise, by preventing her from resiling from it. This chapter first examines the context of promissory estoppel before discussing its requirements and its effect, such as suspending rights and extinguishing debts. It then explains the requirements of proprietary estoppel, namely: there must be a promise or encouragement; the promise or encouragement must induce reasonable reliance; reliance must be detrimental; and unconscionability.
5. 非契约性的承诺
本章探讨了约定禁止反悔和所有权禁止反悔与合同法的交叉。如果一项协议因未满足某些法律先决条件或手续而在合同法上不可执行,则由禁止反悔法发挥作用。禁止反悔法的作用是认为一方在法律上被阻止(“阻止”)违背她过去断言、承诺或接受的事情。禁止反悔的作用是通过阻止当事人违背过去的主张或承诺,使其坚持过去的主张或承诺。本章首先考察了允诺禁止反悔的背景,然后讨论了允诺禁止反悔的要求及其效力,如中止权利和消灭债务。然后解释了专有禁止反言的要求,即:必须有承诺或鼓励;承诺或鼓励必须引起合理的信赖;依赖一定是有害的;和显失公平。
