What doctrine prevents the retraction of a promise, enforceable to prevent injustice due to reliance on that commitment?

💡 Explanation:

The Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel is a legal principle where a promise is legally binding, even without formal consideration, if the promisor makes a promise to another party who reasonably relies on it to their detriment. It is applied to prevent injustice in cases where a party has acted on a governmental or state assurance.
