    Abstract

    Discusses how the attitude of the English courts towards the validity of agreements to release a debt arising from a commercial contract by the payment of a smaller sum to that owing has developed over time, including: case law applying the ratio of Pinnell's Case and Foakes v Beer; and cases invoking the promissory estoppel doctrine to circumvent Foakes v Beer.
