Watson Clinic, LLP v. Verzosa
27 Fla. L. Weekly D1231 (Fla. 2nd DCA May 31, 2002)
In cases involving equitable estoppel, the burden is on the party raising the claim to prove the three elements by clear and convincing evidence. Reliance cannot be claimed when the party asserting equitable estoppel knows the opposing party is mistaken, even when the opposing party was given notice of the error and failed to correct it. Furthermore, a claim of detrimental change in position cannot be claimed when the only harm was spending money that never should have been received in the first place.
