estoppel

Estoppel is a legal principle that prevents a person or entity from asserting a legal right or taking a legal position that contradicts or is inconsistent with its earlier position, behavior, or agreement. The person or entity is said to be “estopped” from changing its position, behavior, or agreement because another person or entity has relied on its earlier position, behavior, or agreement (detrimental reliance).

In Idaho, estoppel is a legal doctrine that is used to promote fairness and prevent injustice. It operates to bar a party from adopting a position inconsistent with one that they previously took, especially if another party has relied on the initial position to their detriment. This principle can be applied in various legal contexts, including contract disputes, property rights, and family law, among others. Estoppel can take several forms, such as promissory estoppel, equitable estoppel, and estoppel by deed. The specific application of estoppel in Idaho would be guided by state case law and statutes that govern the particular legal issue at hand. An attorney can provide advice on how estoppel might apply to a specific set of circumstances in Idaho.
