An employer promises a retiring employee a monthly pension. The employee retires in reliance on this promise. The promise is later revoked. Under promissory estoppel, the employee can recover:
-
A
An amount necessary to prevent injustice, which may be limited to reliance damages
-
B
The full value of all promised pension payments as expectation damages
-
C
Nothing, because pensions require a written ERISA plan
-
D
Only nominal damages for the broken promise
