    While equitable estoppel does not create a separate cause of action at law, the doctrine allows informal or implied promises upon which an individual justifiably relied to be enforced in equity and the plaintiff in this case satisfied the two-pronged test for equitable estoppel by demonstrating both inducement and reliance upon the defendant subcontractors assurances. The court recommended affirmance of its judgment for plaintiff.
