ESTOPPED Meaning and Definition

  1. Estopped is a legal term that refers to the principle of preventing someone from making a particular claim or assertion due to their own actions or previous statements. When a person is estopped, they are barred from asserting a certain right or asserting a particular set of facts in a legal dispute.

    The doctrine of estoppel is based on the concept of fairness and the prevention of injustice. It is used to protect parties who have relied on the statements or actions of others and would suffer harm or disadvantage if the person making those statements or actions were allowed to later change their position.

    Estoppel can arise in various legal situations, such as contracts, property ownership, or civil litigation. It prevents a party from denying or contradicting a previous statement or conduct if another person has reasonably relied on that statement or conduct to their detriment.

    There are different types of estoppel, including promissory estoppel, proprietary estoppel, and estoppel by deed. Promissory estoppel, for example, occurs when a person makes a promise knowing that another person will rely on it, and the person who made the promise is then prevented from going back on their word.

    In summary, estopped refers to the legal principle of preventing someone from asserting a particular claim or denying a certain fact due to their own prior conduct or statements.
