Question $20$

In Harmon v$.$ Delaware Harness Racing Commission,

Harmon was able to prove that a promise was made and that he reasonably relied on the promise,

but failed to prove that the promise needed to be enforced to avoid injustice.

The court ruled that Harmon had a valid oral contract with the Delaware Harness Racing

Commission to reinstate him in the event he was acquitted of criminal charges.

Harmon was able to prove all elements of promissory estoppel.

the court ruled that while Harmon proved that the commission made a promise to him, his reliance

on that promise was not reasonable and refused to enforce the promise on promissory estoppel

grounds
