Successful defense of multi-million dollar claims for promissory estoppel at summary judgment and on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming held that that the record evidence failed to establish any of the elements of promissory estoppel and that the landowner plaintiff was not entitled to relief in equity.
