Explain the effect of promissory estoppel on Dawn's payment to Adam
【参考答案及解析】
Prima facie, Adam's agreement to accept only half of the debt appears to be unsupported by consideration and therefore Adam may still claim the remaining amount. However, Dawn may claim he cannot do so because of the doctrine of promissory estoppel, since she acted on the strength of his waiver by spending the remaining debt money on her recording.
