Read a random definition: DNA

A quick definition of in pais:

In pais means outside of court or legal proceedings. Estoppel is a legal term that means a person cannot assert a claim or right that contradicts what they have said or done before or what has been legally established as true. There are different types of estoppel, such as equitable estoppel, which prevents one party from taking unfair advantage of another through false language or conduct, and promissory estoppel, which allows a promise made without consideration to be enforced if the promisor should have reasonably expected the promisee to rely on it and if the promisee did actually rely on it to their detriment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In pais (in payorpays) means outside court or legal proceedings. It is a Law French term that means "in the country."

Example: Equitable estoppel is a type of estoppel that can occur in pais. For example, if a person makes a false statement or conceals material facts, and another person relies on that statement or concealment to their detriment, the first person may be estopped from denying the truth of the statement or concealment.

Explanation: This means that if someone makes a false statement or conceals material facts, and another person relies on that statement or concealment to their detriment, the first person cannot later deny the truth of the statement or concealment. This is because the second person relied on the statement or concealment and would be harmed if the first person were allowed to deny it.
