Impedimento legal

(common law) A legal principle in the law of equity that prevents a party from asserting otherwise valid legal rights against another party because of conduct by the first party, or circumstances to which the first party has knowingly contributed, make it unjust for those rights to be asserted.

"Because the store owner told customers for months they could return items with no receipt, estoppel prevents him from suddenly requiring receipts now. "

Debido a que el dueño de la tienda les dijo a los clientes durante meses que podían devolver artículos sin recibo, el impedimento legal le impide exigir recibos repentinamente ahora.
