Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Spencer Bower: Reliance-Based Estoppel: The Law of Reliance-Based Estoppel and Related Doctrines by Piers Feltham QC Tom Leech QC QC Peter Crampin QC Joshua Winfield
Spencer-Bower: The Law Relating to Estoppel by Representation Fifth Edition is a highly regarded text covering: Introduction definition and treatment; Representation of Fact; How a representation may be made; Unequivocality and construction; Inducement and reliance; Parties to the Estoppel; The defence of illegality; Estoppel by Convention; Estoppel by deed; Applications of the principles of estoppel by representation to various relationships between parties; Miscellaneous estoppels; Statutory estoppel; Proprietary estoppel; Election; Promissory estoppel; Procedure.Since the fourth edition in 2003 the House of Lords has decided two proprietary estoppel cases Cobbe v Yeoman’s Row Property Management Ltd and Thorner v Major whose combined effect is identified as helping to define a criterion for a reliance-based estoppel founded on a representation namely that the party estopped actually intends the estoppel raiser to act in reliance on the representation or is reasonably understood to intend him so to act.
