California Court of Appeal, Fox Paine & Company, LLC v. Twin City Fire Insurance Company, A168803

Estoppel

 

California Law

 

 

 

As to estoppel, we discussed this as well, in California-American Water Co. v. Marina Coast Water District (2022) 86 Cal.App.5th 1272, 1292−1293, noting among other things that estoppel “‘generally requires a showing that a party’s words or acts have induced detrimental reliance by the opposing party.’ (Lynch v. California Coastal Com. (2017) 3 Cal.5th470, 475–476; see Rubin v. Los Angeles Fed. Sav. & Loan Assn. (1984).

 

159 Cal.App. 3d 292, 298 [‘detrimental reliance is not a necessary element of waiver, only of estoppel’]; City of Hollister v. Monterey Ins. Co. (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 455, 487 [same].)”
