California court reinstates Tarlton’s $688k bond dispute with Great American Insurance
The court, however, upheld the dismissal of Tarlton’s other claims, including false promise, promissory estoppel, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation. Those allegations centered on a letter from Great American stating it would pay part of the claim upon receipt of a signed release. The court concluded there was no binding promise to pay unless Tarlton signed, and since it never did, the claims lacked the necessary factual support.
