What describes a legal prohibition which stops a person from making a particular statement because of something they have said or done before?

  1. Double Jeopardy

  2. Estoppel

  3. Perjury

  4. Injunction

The correct answer is: Estoppel

Estoppel is a legal concept that prevents someone from making a statement that contradicts something they have previously said or done. This is different from double jeopardy, which is a constitutional protection against being tried twice for the same crime. Perjury refers to the act of lying under oath, and injunctions are court orders that require or prohibit a specific action. Therefore, B is the best answer as it specifically relates to preventing someone from making a statement based on their previous actions or statements.
