QUESTION 2 – 8 POINTS Alice оwns а smаll bаkery and is cоnsidering expanding her business by renting a larger space. Bоb, a landlord, has a commercial property that Alice is interested in. During a conversation, Bob tells Alice, "I have open space that would be perfect for your business. We will rent the space to you at a favorable rate if you can commit to moving in by next month. I will hold the space until I hear further from you." Encouraged by Bob's assurance, Alice starts making plans for the expansion. She orders new equipment, hires additional staff, and begins marketing her bakery for the new location. She even obtained plans for the new location and contracted with a local contractor to modify the space. She shared these plans with Bob and also kept him up to date on all of her plans for the property. A few weeks after their initial conversation, Alice texted Bob to finalize the lease agreement, only to be informed that Bob has decided to rent the property to another tenant instead. Alice is left with significant expenses from her preemptive actions, including equipment purchases and hiring staff, which she cannot afford if she does not move into the new location. Required – 8 Points: Alice is now pursuing Bob based on the doctrine of promissory estoppel. In separately lettered or numbered paragraphs discuss each of the elements that Alice will need to prove in order to recover for promissory estoppel and set out the arguments she is likely to make based on the facts set out above.
