A legal articulation of the truism, known to all except those in Her Majesty’s Government’s Government charged with negotiating an exit from the European Union, that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Waiver by election enshrines the idea that if your contract grants you the option of exercising one of a defined universe of (incompatible) alternative rights — you could affirm a repudiated contract or rescind it, for example — then taking one of those avenues closes down for good all the others. If you choose Left, you can’t chose Right.
So, waiver by election not something with which many people — outside those arguing the toss with the European Commission — generally struggle. We will have little more to say about it therefore.
Waiver by estoppel, on the other hand, is every sainted attorney’s worst nightmare
