2018(See Perez v. Smith (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 1595 , 1597, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 186 .) Before the respondent court, Robinson Helicopter argued that petitioners were barred from seeking dismissal under the doctrine of equitable estoppel. (§ 583.140 ["Nothing in this chapter abrogates or otherwise affects the principles of waiver and estoppel"]; Tresway Aero, Inc. v.

2024Co., supra, 62 Cal.4th at p. 1097 [rejecting estoppel argument because parties’ communications regarding stay did not reflect an understanding the statute would be tolled].) We review the trial court’s finding that estoppel did not apply for substantial evidence.

2021First, the revised statutory scheme—set forth in sections 583.110 through 583.360—expressly recognizes exceptions to mandatory dismissal that had been implied by judicial construction, and expressly codifies statements of policy that were formerly discernible only in case law. (1984 Cal. Law Revision Rep., supra, at pp. 915–937.) Second, section 583.140 expressly states that nothing in the revised statutory scheme “abrogates or otherwise affects the principles of waiver and estoppel,” thus confirming the continuing applicability of cases that apply these equitable principles in construing the

2016Assn. (1981) 121 Cal.App.3d 321, 323, 325-327 .) The doctrine of equitable estoppel “affirms that ‘a person may not lull another into a false sense of security by conduct causing the latter to 21 forebear to do something which he otherwise would have done and then take advantage of the inaction caused by his own conduct.’ ” (Tresway Aero, Inc. v. Superior Court (1971) 5 Cal.3d 431, 437-438 ; see also Tejada, supra, 196 Cal.App.3d at p. 1341 [“If a trial court finds statements or conduct by a defendant which lulls the plaintiff into a false sense of security resulting in inaction, and there is

1978It is not our province to weigh the desirability of the social or economic policy underlying the statute or to question its wisdom; they are purely legislative matters. [If] Where, as here, it is argued that a statute does not constitute a proper exercise of the police power, the inquiry of the court is limited to determining whether the object of the statute is one for which that power may legitimately be invoked and, if so, whether the statute bears a reasonable and substantial relation to the objects sought to be attained ....
