ABSTRACT

This chapter serves both as an epilogue to the discussion in chapter 14 about rights in the home created under proprietary estoppel and also as a central point where some of the many threads in the discussion of ‘estoppel’ in this book can be drawn together.1 Given that this book aims to cover both equity and trusts, it is important to isolate one of the most obtuse doctrines in equity: that of ‘equitable estoppel’.
