Summary judgment was properly granted to plaintiff upon a *37showing of a clear and unambiguous promise by defendant to personally repay the amount that plaintiffs placed with defendant’s now defunct investment firm, plaintiffs’ detrimental reliance on that promise in forbearing from legal action against defendant’s firm, and financial loss (see, id.).
