This document lists the requirements for specific types of contracts:
1) Specific performance allows a court to force performance of a contract if money damages are inadequate, the court does not have to oversee performance, and the original contract clearly specifies the performance sought.
2) Restitution for unjust enrichment can be awarded if the defendant received a benefit at the plaintiff's expense without intent for a gift.
3) Promissory estoppel applies if the defendant made an unconditional promise that the plaintiff reasonably relied upon to their detriment in a way that was foreseeable by the defendant.
4) Equitable estoppel applies if the defendant made a false statement of fact that the plaintiff reasonably relied upon to their detriment
