Question

When a person whose duty is conditional leads the other party to rely on his noninsistence on the condition, the condition will be excused because of a(n) _____?

Answer 1

The condition will be excused because of ESTOPPEL. Estoppel is an obstruction which prevents a person from asserting a right or denying a fact. The obstruction is normally due to the person action, conduct or failure to act. The principal aim of estoppel is to prevent injustice due to inconsistency or fraud. Estoppel is of two types: equitable and legal estoppel.
