3 Main Differences between Limitation and Estoppel are as follows:
Limitation:
1. Limitation is a procedural law. It precludes a person claiming a right to sue after the period of limitation.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. Limitation does not apply to a matter of defense barring a few exceptions.
3. The defense of limitation is open even when the plaintiff’s delay in instituting the suit is due to the conduct of the defendant except where it is fraudulent.
