English term (edited):
estoppel (must be in the singular)
Definition below
A rule of law that when person A, by act or words, gives person B reason to believe a certain set of facts upon which person B takes action, person A cannot later, to his (or her) benefit, deny those facts or say that his (or her) earlier act was improper. A 1891 English court decision summarized estoppel as "a rule of evidence which precludes a person from denying the truth of some statement previously made by himself".

To \"estop\" means simply to stop, or to prevent. In the case of notes, an estoppel is a signed statement by the payor certifying for the benefit of the note buyer that the payor\'s statement of facts is correct as of the date of the statement, regarding such things as that a note exists, that there are no defaults and that payments are paid to a certain date. Delivery of the statement by the payor prevents (estops) the payor from later claiming a different statement of facts
