Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equitable estoppel prevents a party from raising certain defenses, including the Statute of Frauds, to avoid enforcement of an oral contract. Option A is incorrect because equitable estoppel does not contain provisions to exempt parties from being sued, but rather can be used as a defense against a lawsuit. Option B is incorrect because equitable estoppel is not concerned with the admissibility of evidence, but rather is a legal doctrine used to prevent a party from taking an unfair position in a dispute. Option C is incorrect because a glossary is not typically included in an equitable estoppel.
