' " [Citation.]' [Citation.]" (People v. Stowell (2003) 31 Cal.4th 1107, 1114.) As stated in Tri Counties Bank v. Superior Court (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 1332, " ' " '[i]t would seem . . . intolerable to permit a party to play fast and loose with the administration of justice by deliberately standing by without making an objection of which he is aware and thereby permitting the proceedings to go to a conclusion which he may acquiesce in, if favorable, and which he may avoid, if not.' " ' [Citations.]" (Id. at p. 1337.)
