With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". of the V.I., 184 F. Supp. 2d 428 (D.V.I. App. Div. 2002). “[A] finding is' ‘clearly erroneous’ when although there is evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.” United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395, 68 S. Ct. 525, 92 L. Ed. 746 (1948); see also FED. R. CIV. P. 52 (a). A trial court’s findings are thus upheld if its “account of the evidence is plausible in light of the record viewed in its entirety.” Anderson v. Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, 573-4, 105 S. Ct. 1504, 84 L. Ed. 2d 518 (1985). Whether the trial court should have applied the legal doctrine of equitable estoppel is reviewed de novo. See Nibbs v. Roberts, 31 V.I. 196, 209 (D.V.I.
