Definitions from the WebEstoppelsDescription:Estoppels is a legal term that refers to a principle that precludes a person from asserting something contrary to what they previously stated or accepted as true, especially when it would be unfair to allow them to do so. It acts as a bar, preventing a party from denying the truth of a statement or relying on a legal position that is in conflict with their previous actions or statements. Sample sentences:1. The defendant's estoppel prevents them from denying their ownership of the property, as they previously acknowledged it in a signed agreement. 2. The company's estoppel claim holds the employee accountable for their false representations made during the negotiation process. 3. By accepting the benefits of a contract, the plaintiff is estopped from arguing against its validity. 4. The landlord cannot use the tenant's non-payment of rent as grounds for eviction due to the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Related products:Explore related products on Amazon: | ||||
