In promissory estoppel cases, courts generally award damages equal to out of pocket costs plus what the employee lost in quitting her job and declining employment elsewhere. A legal principle known as promissory estoppel prevents someone from breaking commitment even if a formal contract is not in place.
It stipulates that an injured party can sue a promisor for damages if the injured party suffered losses as a result of promisor's broken promise, which the recipient of promise later came to regret. Promise may be enforced despite absence of the conditions for a valid contract under the promissory estoppel doctrine.
