SKB Industries, Inc. v. Insite
Court of Appeals of Georgia
551 S.E.2d 380 (2001)
Relevant factsFree
SKB (defendant) submitted a revised landscaping bid to Insite (plaintiff) for inclusion in Insite's overall Olympics-project bid to a general contractor, but after Insite's bid was accepted, SKB refused to perform and never signed the resulting subcontract, forcing inexperienced Insite to perform the landscaping itself at significantly greater expense.
IssueFree
Whether a claim based on promissory estoppel exists when the promisor made a promise to perform, the promisor should have expected that the promisee would reasonably rely on that promise, the promisee did, in fact, rely on that promise to its detriment, and injustice can be avoided only by enforcement of the promise.
