    8. Sears, Roebuck and Co promised to give Forrer permanent employment, so he sold his farm at a loss to take the job. But shortly after beginning work, he was discharged by Sears who claimed the contract could be terminated at will. Forrer claimed that the promissory estoppel prevented Sears form terminating the contract. Under promissory estoppel a promisor may be prevented from asserting that their promise is unenforceable because the promise gave no consideration for the promise. This is applicable when the promisor makes a promise that lacks consideration, and intends or should reasonably expect that the promise will rely on the promise and in fact does, and that the enforcement of the promise is the only way to avoid injustice. In this case, promissory estoppel did not prevent Sears from terminating the contract. Generally speaking, a contract for permanent employment that provides no additional considerations (such as something benefitting the employer) for employment amounts to just a general hiring that is terminable at the will of either party. The promise was fulfilled once the relationship between Forrer and Sears was established, and no additional benefit to Sears was provided.…

    A contract is an agreement between two or more competent parties in which an offer is made and accepted, and each party benefits. When we look to see if a valid contract has been formed we look at the formation of the contract i.e. offer, acceptance, consideration and Intention to create legal relationships. This is an integral part of contract law. In England and most civil law countries existence of a contract depends on a theory that parties intend to be legally bound. The rule dates back to 1919’s where the court dismissed that a husband can be enforced to pay a fixed amount of sum he promised his wife. The doctrine of intention focuses primarily on whether both parties intend to be legally bounded by a contract. This area of law has become increasingly important over the year especially when there is no clear indication or mirror image in writing that the parties have a contract in place. It’s a matter of policy otherwise commercial agreements won’t be enforceable and doing business without a contract in place will be difficult and will raise doubt/fear among parties to enter into a commercial agreement.…
