As of September 1, 2010

California Civil Jury Instruction CACI 336

336. Affirmative Defense—Waiver

[Name of defendant] claims that [he/she/it] did not have to [insert

description of performance] because [name of plaintiff] gave up [his/

her/its] right to have [name of defendant] perform [this/these]

obligation[s]. This is called a "waiver."

To succeed, [name of defendant] must prove both of the following

by clear and convincing evidence:

1. That [name of plaintiff] knew [name of defendant] was

required to [insert description of performance]; and

2. That [name of plaintiff] freely and knowingly gave up [his/

her/its] right to have [name of defendant] perform

[this/these] obligation[s].

A waiver may be oral or written or may arise from conduct that

shows that [name of plaintiff] gave up that right.

If [name of defendant] proves that [name of plaintiff] gave up [his/

her/its] right to [name of defendant]’s performance of [insert

description of performance], then [name of defendant] was not

required to perform [this/these] obligation[s].
