Estoppel is a legal principle designed to prevent a person from asserting something contrary to what they have previously implied or stated. This includes proprietary estoppel, which concerns rights relating to land or property. 

What you will learn

  • what a proprietary estoppel claim is and its main elements; 
  • the factors that the Court will consider in relation to a proprietary estoppel claim; and 
  • two recent cases involving proprietary estoppel claims. 

Completing the course

You must mark each section complete in order to successfully complete the course, but you can return to the sections at any point. At the end of the course you will complete a quiz, which can be retaken if you do not reach the pass mark of 80%. You will also be asked to submit a short written assignment. Upon successful completion of the quiz and assignment, you will receive your certificate!

Once enrolled, you can also download and print the full course notes and a one-page reference guide from the materials section. We recommend printing the full course notes before you take the quiz.

You will still be able to access the course in full at any time from the My Account section of the website, even after you have completed it.
