Here is a basic definition of "estoppel."

Estoppel is a legal doctrine that prevents a person from adopting a position, action, or attitude, asserting a fact or a right, or prevents one from denying a fact inconsistent with an earlier position if it would result in an injury to someone else.

There are three types of estoppel and the question is not really specific enough to render a more exact answer.

What are the differences between estoppel by negligence and estoppel by representation?

Estoppel by representation occurs when one party makes a false statement or representation that another party relies on to their detriment. Estoppel by negligence, on the other hand, arises when a party fails to exercise due diligence or care in a situation and the other party suffers harm as a result.
