The defendant failed to establish the necessary elements of estoppel by convention: there was no common mistaken assumption communicated to and shared by the Bank that the defendant would not be liable, and the Bank did not conduct itself on such an assumption; the defendant’s own conduct and admissions were inconsistent with the asserted assumption; therefore no triable issue existed and summary judgment was appropriate.
