ESTOPPING Meaning and Definition

1. Estopping is a legal term used to describe the principle of preventing a person from asserting a right or taking a certain action, due to their previous words or actions that give rise to a contradictory or inconsistent position. It is a doctrine aimed at promoting fairness and preventing individuals from benefiting unfairly or engaging in dishonest behavior.

   When a person is estopped, they are legally bound by their previous statements or conduct, and are prevented from denying or contradicting these actions or statements, even if it may be to their advantage. Estoppel can arise in various contexts, including contracts, property, and land disputes.

   This principle is based on the idea that it would be unjust for someone to assert a right or position that is contrary to their prior actions or statements if others have relied upon these actions or statements to their detriment. Estoppel essentially acts as a safeguard against unfairness and promotes integrity in legal proceedings.

   There are different types of estoppel, such as promissory estoppel, which prevents a party from denying a promise made if the other party relied on that promise to their detriment. Estoppel by deed arises when parties to a legal document are precluded from asserting something contrary to the terms of that document.

   Overall, estopping serves as a legal tool to prevent individuals from benefiting from contradictory or inconsistent behavior, ensuring fairness and consistency in legal proceedings.

Etymology of ESTOPPING

The word "estopping" derives from the Old French term "estopir", which means "to block" or "to stop up". It entered the English language in the 14th century and initially referred to the act of blocking or obstructing something. Over time, its meaning evolved to include the legal concept of estoppel, which is the principle that prevents a person from denying or asserting something due to their previous actions, statements, or behavior indicating a contrary belief. Therefore, "estopping" pertains to the act of invoking estoppel or the legal principle itself.
