This was effectively refuted by a study of *4 promissory estoppel cases by Robert Hillman in which he found that the absence of reliance was dispositive in 25% of the cases in which promissory estoppel claims were denied.
But though it should have come as no surprise that the existence of a promise was still a requirement of promissory estoppel, this finding still undercut the old 1960s and 1970s "reliance theory" of promissory estoppel in which reliance on any verbal conduct was to be treated like a form of a verbal tort.
And finally, in section 71D, I proposed that a promise meeting the requirements of sections 71A-C might still be unenforceable if the promisor could show that a reasonable promisee would not have understood the promisor to have intended the promise to be legally binding.
