metadata.value: Inadmissibility of controversial conduct (venire contra factum proprium) is a continental functional
  analog of common law estoppel. It is a special “pitfall” under the rubric for the application
  of the bona fide requirement when inadmissibility of conduct is derived from its controversial
  character in regard to previous conduct. The article exposes a lack of necessity in the prohibition
  under the regimes of early private law codifications of the Modern Age (France, Austria)
  which is why one may observe its prevalence primarily in Germany after the enactment of German
  Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (Civil Code). The author thinks of its prevalence as a result of a
  drastic change in understanding the legal relationship induced by the restoration of corporate
  thinking in a renewed form as opposed to individualistic thinking associated with Roman law
  and the first draft of Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch. For the courts, the inadmissibility of controversial
  conduct became a convenient means to justify the restatement of rules formally binding for
  parties in cases where, as a result of the application of formal rules, the connection between
  the conduct of a party to a legal relationship and its negative outcome, which under said formal
  rules, totally fall into the other party’s burden. Due to this, the concept of a legal relationship,
  previously built as mere correlation of a subjective right to liability, is complicated by an element
  of burden — some of which would be imposed on the entitled party. This revealed the formal
  side of inadmissibility of controversial conduct, which made it possible to correct what shall
  be treated in terms of new thinking as a gap of regulation formed by individualistic thinking. In
  material terms, the inadmissibility of controversial conduct is limited in literature to cases when
  the previous conduct of a certain person has caused legitimate expectations from the counterparty
  and the current conduct contradicts these expectations. The author refutes this reduction
  since from the outset, the founding idea of the rule was to preserve the interrelation between
  conduct and adverse consequences lost in the formal application of the law. The contradiction
  of conduct, hence, shall be seen in using a formal legal position to prevent the adverse outcome
  of one’s own conduct. However, development of this court practice revealed another function
  of the rule, much more important in the author’s opinion, namely, the acceleration of civil communication
  governed by private law.
