Waiver by estoppel
The other kind of waiver. The difficult one. Though not as perilous as your earnest counsel may have you believe.
Waiver by estoppel is when a party is entitled to exercise close-out rights, but by conduct leads the offending party to believe it will not. It is an outflowering of the great case of Hughes v Metropolitan Railway (1877) 2 App. Cas. 439
