The following excerpt is from Lerner v. Los Angeles City Bd. of Ed., 29 Cal.Rptr. 657, 380 P.2d 97, 59 Cal.2d 382 (Cal. 1963):
8 In cases in which a conflict of interest does exist, the waiver may not be binding on the privy. See generally 31 Cal.Jur.2d. Limitations on Actions, 206. For example, a waiver by a debtor will not bind a surety. (Easton v. Ash (1941), 18 Cal.2d 530, 116 P.2d 433.) In the present case, however, two agents of the same government each representing the public interest, are involved.
