doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment

Read a random definition: tanquam quilibet

A quick definition of doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment:

The doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment, also known as judicial estoppel, is a legal rule that prevents someone from making a claim or argument that contradicts what they have previously said or what has been established as true in court. This rule is meant to prevent unfairness and ensure that people are held accountable for their statements and actions. It applies in various contexts, such as patents, contracts, and court proceedings. Essentially, if you say or do something, you can't later change your story and expect to be believed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment is a legal principle that prevents a party from contradicting previous declarations made during the same or an earlier proceeding if the change in position would adversely affect the proceeding or constitute a fraud on the court. This is also known as judicial estoppel under estoppel.

Example: If a person sues someone for damages and claims they were not at fault, but in a previous case, they admitted to being at fault, the doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment would prevent them from changing their position and denying fault in the current case. This is because it would be unfair to the other party and would undermine the integrity of the legal system.

Explanation: The doctrine of the conclusiveness of the judgment is designed to ensure that parties are held accountable for their previous statements and actions in legal proceedings. It prevents them from changing their position to gain an advantage in a current case, which would be unfair to the other party. This principle is essential to maintaining the integrity of the legal system and ensuring that justice is served.
