Estoppel is a legal principle that prevents a party from arguing something contrary to a claim made or implied by their previous actions or statements. It is often used to uphold fairness and prevent injustice in legal proceedings. Here are some key types of estoppel:

1. Promissory Estoppel- This occurs when one party makes a promise, and the other party relies on that promise to their detriment. The promisor may be held accountable even if a formal contract does not exist.

2. Equitable Estoppel- This prevents a party from asserting something contrary to what is implied by their previous conduct or statements when it would be unjust to allow them to do so.

3. Collateral Estoppel - Also known as issue preclusion, it prevents the re-litigation of issues that have already been judged in a final verdict in a previous case.

4. Judicial Estoppel
This prohibits a party from taking a position in a legal proceeding that is contrary to a position they took in an earlier proceeding.

Estoppel serves to uphold the integrity of legal proceedings by ensuring that parties cannot change their positions to the detriment of others.

**Res Judicata

is a legal doctrine that prevents the same issue from being tried again once it has been judicially decided. It is based on the principle that a final judgment by a competent court should be conclusive and not subject to re-litigation. Here are key points about res judicata:

Key Elements

Final Judgment
There must be a final judgment on the merits of the case. This means the court has made a definitive ruling.

2. Same Parties
The parties in the subsequent action must be the same as those in the original case, or in privity with them.

3. Same Cause of Action

The claim or cause of action in the new case must be the same as that in the original case.

Purpose

-Efficiency

Res judicata promotes judicial efficiency by avoiding repetitive litigation.

Certainty

It provides certainty and stability in legal decisions and outcomes.

Types

Claim Preclusion

Prevents parties from bringing a claim that has already been judged.

-Issue Preclusion (Collateral Estoppel) Prevents the re-litigation of issues that were already decided in a previous case, even if the parties are different.

Exceptions
There are some exceptions where res judicata may not apply, such as:

- Changes in law that affect the original judgment.
- Newly discovered evidence that could not have been presented in the original trial.
Conclusion

Res judicata is essential for maintaining the integrity of the judicial system by ensuring that legal matters are resolved definitively and efficiently.

The term "per incuriam" is a Latin phrase meaning "through lack of care." In legal contexts, it refers to a decision made by a court that is considered to be made without regard to a relevant legal principle or precedent. When a court's ruling is deemed to be "per incuriam," it may not be followed in future cases due to its perceived lack of thoroughness or consideration.
