What is the defence of estoppel?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ritchot, Rural Municipality of v. Mandziuk et al., 1986 CanLII 4868 (MB QB):
I am satisfied that the acquies cence and delay of the plaintiff in this case does not give rise to the defence of estoppel. I am of the opinion that on the facts before me the court should follow the case of Saanich v. Wright et al. (1984), 54 B.C.L.R. 393.
