......Judicial Estoppel
3 Cards On This Topic:

Settlement of legal malpractice action where H claimed he lost marital assets because of law firm's malpractice, estopped him from later claiming c/p interest in the same assets; Jackson Test.

Judicial estoppel prevents taking one position in first action and then an inconsistent one in a subsequent action.

Judicial estoppel does not prevent H from contradicting declaration in prior action with W1 wherein he declared he had no interest in business; W2 participated in fraud.
