estoppel
| In law, a conclusive admission that cannot be denied. For the rule of estoppel to operate in law, a denial of the truth of the statement or facts relating to it must have been made, and the person hoping to benefit from the estoppel must have acted upon the denial before the true position was known (usually to his or her detriment). |
