Which one of the following is NOT true?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: 'Which one of the following is NOT true?', but the provided data does not include any answer options to evaluate besides a listed answer snippet.
First, note the available item in the 'answer' field: 'c. Promissory estoppel is only relevant where a contract exists'. This statement is being treated as a potential choice to judge.
Consider the concept: promissory estoppel is a doctrine that can enforce a promise even in the absence of a formal contract when a promise leads to reasonable and detrimental reliance. Therefore, the claim that promissory estoppel is 'only relevant where a contract exists' is generally false, because promissory estoppel can apply precisely when a contract does not exist, to prevent injustice.
Now, addressing the lack of answer options: since the 'answer_options' array is empty, we cannot systematically evaluate each alternative choice to confirm which one is not true. In a typical analysis, we would examine each option for truthfulness and contrast them with established legal principles.
Because the set of possible choices is incomplete, we cannot provide a step-by-step comparison for all alternatives. In practice, if other options suggested that promissory estoppel requires a contract, or that it cannot be invoked without detrimental reliance, those would be questionable statements, given the doctrine’s core elements. Conversely, a statement aligning with the view that promissory estoppel can apply without a formal contract would be more consistent with standard law.
In summary, based on the single provided option, the claim that promissory estoppel is only relevant where a contract exists is the statement that contradicts the general understanding of promissory estoppel, but a full evaluation of all choices is not possible here due to missing answer options.
