Express contracts consisting of the standard offer-acceptance and consideration trilogy 2. Implied in fact contracts distinguished by conduct rather than by express words 3. Promissory estoppel referred to as detrimental reliance 4. Subsequent promises to perform pre-existing obligations Read More |
