Cyberchron Corp. v. Calldata Systems Development Inc.

Cyberchron Corp. (plaintiff), contracted by the Air Force to build equipment, relied on Calldata Systems Development Inc.'s (defendant) verbal assurance that it would resolve a component weight problem. Cyberchron incurred substantial development costs, but Calldata never resolved the weight issue.

Whether a party may recover damages under promissory estoppel where it reasonably relied on a clear and unambiguous verbal promise and was injured, despite the absence of a formal agreement.
