What is the waiver rule when there is no timely objection to the actions of the trial judge in eliciting new evidence?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Coit Drapery Cleaners, Inc. v. Sequoia Ins. Co., 14 Cal.App.4th 1595, 18 Cal.Rptr.2d 692 (Cal. App. 1993):

It is hornbook law that a timely and specific objection is required to prevent the consideration of certain evidence; the failure to object at all waives any claim of error. (See, e.g., People v. Corrigan (1957) 48 Cal.2d 551, 556, 310 P.2d 953 [The waiver rule also applies when there is no timely objection to the actions of the trial judge in eliciting new evidence.].) Any error here was waived. (Evid.Code, 353, subd. (a).)
