I'm sorry but that does not answer my question at all.

It's quite obvious that a legal dispute may be settled in court. We do not know the details of the case you quoted so it's difficult to comment.

I'm asking specifically about the template that is posted here because it looks like a simple promise and, as mentioned, these have no value in many jurisdictions. I suppose I'm asking how it works in Delaware, basically.

I suspect that the first reply I got is actually it...

> In many jurisdictions of the United States, promissory estoppel is an alternative to consideration as a basis for enforcing a promise. It is also sometimes called detrimental reliance.

Yes I know estoppel.

But in this case?
