ESTOPPEL
Estoppel refers to a legal principle that prevents someone from arguing something or asserting a right that contradicts what they previously said or agreed to by law. Simply put, estoppel prevents one person from contradicting an action or statement from the past. It is a legal bar to allege or deny a fact because of one's own previous actions or words to the contrary.

ESTOPPEL
According to Black's Law Dictionary, estoppel is a bar or impediment which precludes allegation or denial of a certain fact or state of facts, in consequence of a previous allegation or denial or conduct or admission, or in consequence of a final adjudication of the matter in a court of law. A principle of common law, it is meant to prevent people from being unjustly wronged by the inconsistencies of another person's words or actions. Types of estoppels include collateral estoppel, equitable estoppel, and promissory estoppel. Estoppel certificates are commonly used in real estate and must be signed by tenants when the landlord is trying to conduct a transaction with the property.

Alibi
According to the Black’s Law Dictionary, an alibi is a defense based on the physical impossibility of a defendant's guilt by placing the defendant in a location other than the scene of the crime at the relevant time. It is the fact or state of being elsewhere when an offense was committed. It is an excuse used by a person accused or suspected of a crime. In the original Latin, it means "in another place" which has to be the ultimate alibi.

Alibi
When a person, charged with a crime, proves that he was, at the time alleged, in a different place from that in which it was committed, he is said to prove an alibi, the effect of which is to lay a foundation for the necessary inference, that he could not have committed it. The proof of which can be made by the testimony of witnesses or in writing.
