This new edition of Spencer Bower: The Law Relating to Estoppel by Representation is a thorough updating of the classic original text with substantial additions on the extensive judicial and legislative developments which have taken place both in the UK and Commonwealth jurisdictions over the last twenty years.This learned work constitutes an essential part of the commercial practitioner's library.
Providing practical guidance on these complex doctrines this book analyses their constituent elements and considers the juridical foundation and relationship with other areas of law and other application in various aspects of commercial law.
This work contains within a single book an account of all the forms of estoppel in operation today, including estoppel by record (res iudicata), as well as of the associated doctrine of election. There can be few practitioners who do not at some time have to engage with estoppel. Estoppel applies across all, or nearly all, English civil law. In explaining each form of estoppel an attempt is made to state the main elements which have to be proved to establish the estoppel and then to detail each element with its various components. At the end of each chapter a brief summary of the estoppel is included so as to guide practitioners and others to any question important in any particular case. The law of estoppel has considerably advanced over recent decades, and over the last 10 years alone there have been major changes, such as the clarification of the previously uncertain boundaries of proprietary estoppel, a statement of the exceptions to the principles of res iudicata, and the extension law as well as of fact. These and other subjects are explained in full.

Estoppel, variation and waiver are three overlapping doctrines in commercial law which are invoked to alter or end existing contractual arrangements. Because there has been no systematic classification and analysis of the doctrines and there is no obvious dividing line between them, this a difficult area for practitioners. This book examines all three doctrines and helps attorneys decide when and how to use them effectively.
Provides a comprehensive survey of the law of proprietary estoppel, a complex topic based on the rules of equity and common law. This text sets out the general principles surrounding difficult cases, examining each element of the estoppel in detail, with a full discussion of the relevant case law.
The book is a study of the different juristic approaches to the problems arising out of claims resulting from failed pre-contractual negotiations. The main approaches in this matter have been the law of restitution and promissory estoppel. Breaking a new ground in this area of the law, the book offers a theory, comprising a marriage of common elements called the benefit-reliance approach to restitution.
