quasi estoppel

quasi estoppel
This doctrine is properly invoked against a person asserting a claim inconsistent with a position previously taken by him, with knowledge of the facts and his rights, to the detriment of the person seeking application of the doctrine. Evans v. Idaho State Tax Commission, 97 Idaho 148, 540 P.2d 810, 812.
"Equitable estoppel" and "estoppel in pais" are convertible terms embracing "quasi estoppel" and embody doctrine that one may not repudiate an act done or position assumed by him where such course would work injustice to another rightfully relying thereon. Brown v. Corn Exchange Nat. Bank & Trust Co., 136 NJ.Eq. 430, 42 A.2d 474, 480.
