Question

Sara bought two tickets to the Taylor Swift concert at a venue 200 miles away. Sara asks her friend Tanya to go with her. Sara tells Tanya that she has already paid for the tickets so all Tanya has to do is pay for the hotel and transportation to the venue. Based upon that conversation, Tanya takes off from work at a loss of $200, boards her dog for a cost of $50, books a non-refundable room at a hotel for $150 and buys two train tickets at a cost of $70. The day before the concert, Sara calls Tanya and says, " I hope you understand but my boyfriend really wants to go to the concert so I am going to take him". Sara and Tanya have nothing in writing. Tanya files a lawsuit against Sara. The court could apply the doctrine of promissory estoppel to award damages to Tanya and avoid an injustice.
