Estoppel
Estoppel, a conclusive admission, which cannot be denied. It is of three kinds:-(1) By matter of record, which imports such absolute and incontrovertible verity, that no person against whom it is producible shall be permitted to aver against it. A record concludes the parties thereto, and their privies, whether in blood, in law, or by estate, upon the point adjudged, but not upon any matter collateral or adjudged by inference, A judgment in an action in rem is absolutely binding upon all the world.A conviction on the same facts is no estoppel in a civil action because the parties are not the same, Palace Shipping Co. v. Caine, 1907 AC 386.(2) By deed. No person can be allowed to dispute his own solemn deed, which is therefore conclusive against him, and those claiming under him, even as to the facts recited in it.
