Promissory Estoppel as a Cause of Action in Connecticut

Promissory Estoppel

A claim for promissory estoppel “requires proof of two essential elements: the party against whom estoppel is claimed must do or say something calculated or intended to induce another party to believe that certain facts exist and to act on that belief; and the other party must change its position in reliance on those facts, thereby incurring some injury.” Abbott Terrace Health Center, Inc. v. Parawich, 120 Conn.App. 78, 86, 990 A.2d 1267 (Conn.App. 2010).
