Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.14-2
Promissory Estoppel
In order to prevail on (his/her) claim of promissory estoppel the plaintiff must prove by a
preponderance of the evidence 1) that the defendant made a clear and definite promise to
(him/her), 2) that the defendant should reasonably have expected the plaintiff to rely on the
promise, and 3) that the plaintiff did rely on the promise to (his/her) detriment.
The defendant is not liable to the plaintiff if a reasonable person in the defendant's position
should not have expected the plaintiff to rely on the promise.
