Abstract: (10664 Views)
According to English Common Law rules, in order to be legally enforceable, a contract must be supported by consideration or be in deed. The rigidity of this doctrine caused the courts to seek to find other criteria for enforceability of promises. The most important of these in England is the Doctrine of Promissory estoppel. Under this doctrine, a promise intended to be binding, intended to be acted upon, and in fact, acted on, is binding so far as its terms properly apply. This article seeks to study the doctrine and compare it with similar institutions in Islamic jurisprudence and in Iranian law.
