Sacred Heart Farmers Cooperative Elevator v. Johnson

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that there was “no question of promissory estoppel ... presented as that doctrine is applicable to imply a contract in law where none exists in fact and here the jury found as fact upon sufficient evidence that an oral contract existed”
• declining to apply equitable estoppel to a typical grain transaction between a seller and a grain elevator because doing so would “seriously weaken the force of the statute of frauds”
• promissory estoppel implies contract from unilateral, otherwise unenforceable promise and is wholly inapplicable where actual contract exists
