In this appeal arising from an action seeking ejectment and monetary damages, the court affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded for any eviction proceedings that may be necessary. The court found that the special referee erred in determining Respondents owned an equitable interest in a property and reversed a finding of promissory estoppel because Respondents failed to prove the first two elements of promissory estoppel at trial. As a result, the court also reversed the property tax finding and judgment against Respondent Patel.
