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. In estoppel by negligence, the focus is on the negligent actions or inactions of the party rather than a deliberate misrepresentation.

Estoppel is a legal principle that prevents a person from arguing something contrary to a claim they previously made or accepted as true, especially if doing so would harm another party who relied on the original claim. It aims to uphold fairness and prevent inconsistency in legal proceedings. There are various forms of estoppel, including equitable estoppel and promissory estoppel, each addressing different scenarios where reliance on a statement or action is at stake. Essentially, estoppel serves to protect the integrity of legal agreements and representations.
