What is the test for determining whether a plaintiff has a reasonable reliance on misrepresentations?

"In evaluating the reasonableness of a plaintiff's reliance on alleged misrepresentations, the courts will consider what is apparent from the pleadings about the plaintiff's knowledge and experience. '"Generally, '[a] plaintiff will be denied recovery only if his conduct is manifestly unreasonable in the light of his own intelligence or information.'"'" (Ibid.) Similarly, with respect to applying the doctrine of equitable estoppel against a statute of limitations bar, an appellant has the burden of showing that detrimental reliance on the claimed inequitable conduct was reasonable. (May v. City of Milpitas (2013) 217 Cal.App.4th 1307, 1337-1338.)
