Question

Haruki's boss, Gabriel, tells him that because he has been such a valuable employee, he will receive an extra week of vacation. When Haruki decides to schedule the vacation, he reminds Gabriel of his statement. Gabriel says that he has changed his mind and that he really cannot afford to let Haruki have an extra week off. Haruki says that Gabriel has breached the contract he had with him for an extra vacation week. Assuming injustice cannot be established, who is right

Answer 1

Answer:

Haruki's boss Gabriel is right because there is no valid contract

Explanation:

Promissory estoppel is when a promise is made from one person to the other that can be relied upon.

This is however not a valid contract, but should be respected to avoid injustice.

A valid contract involves a written or expression of agreement about a particular thing. It involves offer and acceptance.

In this scenario a promise was made and since injustice cannot be established, Gabriel can decide not to honor the promise.
