Unizor - US Business Law - Legal Promises
by Jesse Brogan

Unsupported promises are normally refused legal effect.  An exception is where the aggrieved party has good reason to rely upon the promise, and is induced to act to his or her commercial detriment.  

That is always a judgment call, both for the parties and for the court.

One of the few hard rules is that the court will not hear causes based on promises of immoral or illegal actions.
