Estoppel in Australia is the first and only comprehensive treatment of all forms of civil estoppel in Australia. The authors map each doctrine of estoppel in a dedicated chapter that includes a simplified overview, a thorough examination of elements, evidential requirements (including the burden of proof), case notes of the key authorities, defences, considerations for pleading and precedents of pleadings. This book distils complicated doctrines into a complete and litigation-ready guide. Every statement of principle in the text is supported by direct quotation from one or more authorities. Every appellate decision in Australia’s history has been reviewed for the purposes of drafting this book, along with key first instance Australian decisions and all authoritative English decisions. - Publisher's website.
