Distinquish between equitable estoppel and ordinary estoppel?

In: Adverse Possession, Law School [Edit categories]

Answer:

Estoppel may be a matter of law; it may also be claimed because of a loss of money or value (equity) by either party. A party is estopped (prevented) because the law indicates that the action is unlawful or because one of the parties will suffer an unfair financial loss if the act is permitted.
