Abstract

This note discusses the decision of the Court of Appeal in Collier v. P & M J Wright (Holdings) Limited, and notes that while the Court purports to uphold both the decision in Pinnel's Case and the effect of Re Selectmove, in fact, by an extension of promissory estoppel, it bypasses them.
