Can a plaintiff waive their right to a statement of decision?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from In re Marriage of Satya and Lakshmi Reddi, G029401. (Cal. App. 2003):

may waive their statutory right to a statement of decision. (Whittington v. McKinney, supra, 234 Cal. App. 3d at pp. 129-130 [while appellant requested a statement of decision, he responded 'Uh-huh' to court's suggestion that the entire reporter's transcript would constitute the statement of decision]; see also Cal. Rules of Court, rule 232(e) ["If a statement of decision is not requested or has been waived . . . ."].) It cannot be reversible error - let alone reversible error per se - to refuse a statement of decision which is untimely or which has been waived. (Whittington v. McKinney, supra, 234 Cal. App. 3d at p. 130.)
