Wow, just wow!

I am not a lawyer but....I wonder if this applies?

Glen was told he was doing the right thing with his part xxxx work by CASA and that he was successfully operating to regulation (the promise) then all of a sudden, everything was now wrong!

However, this is American law and we may have no equivalent.

Breaking Down Promissory Estoppel

Promissory estoppel serves to enable an injured party to recover on a promise. There are common legally-required elements for a person to make a claim for promissory estoppel: a promisor, a promisee, and a detriment that the promisee has suffered. An additional requirement is that the person making the claim - the promisee - must have reasonably relied on the promise — in other words, the promise was one that a reasonable person would ordinarily rely on.

Another requirement further qualifies the required detriment component; the promisee must have suffered an actual substantial detriment in the form of an economic loss that results from the promisor failing to deliver on his or her promise. Finally, promissory estoppel is usually only granted if a court determines that enforcing the promise is essentially the only means by which an injustice to the promisee can be rectified.
