“[U]NDER THE DOCTRINE OF ESTOPPEL, AN
ADMISSION OR REPRESENTATION IS RENDERED CONCLUSIVE UPON THE PERSON MAKING IT,
AND CANNOT BE DENIED OR DISPROVED AS AGAINST THE PERSON RELYING THEREON. A party may not go back on his own acts and
representations to the prejudice of the other party who relied upon them. In
the law of evidence, whenever a party has, by his own declaration, act, or
omission, intentionally and deliberately led another to believe a particular
thing [to be] true, and to act upon such belief, he cannot, in any litigation
arising out of such declaration, act, or omission, be permitted to falsify it.”
