Estoppels and the Substantive Law or the Principles of Keeping Faith and Finality

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
THIS is a classical work of Arthur Caspersz which was reproduced from Tagore Law Lectures, 1893. Sir F. Pollock among others highly appreciated this treatise in the following words. "It may safely be said that Mr. Caspersz's treatise is the most useful and comprehensive one yet written in the Eastern Hemisphere; and without attempting to weigh its general merits against those of Mr. Ewast's or Mr. Bigelow's more elaborate works, we think that English or Anglo-Indian lawyers may find it easier for practical reference." (See The Law Quarterly Review, England, July, 1909). This observation of Sir Pollock still holds good in present time on the said calssical work of Mr. Caspersz which was last published on 15th November, 1915 as the Fourth Edition. After long ninty one years though there have been statutory changes in some matters dealt with in this work, yet it can be safely said that there has not been any structural change in the basic theories of the work.
We have endeavoured to retain the original texts of this treatise with addition of sections (§) and footnotes to highlight the legal position at present.
We trust that this new edition will be helpful to the Bench, Bar and other persons who are interested in this legal field.
We place on record our sincere appreciation of Mr. Sujit Kumar Kar of R. Cambray & Co. Pvt. Ltd. who has initiated in bringing out this edition.
