2019Associates, Inc. (2004) 115 Cal.App.4th 1145, 1165 .) In Coy, the Court of Appeal determined the “plaintiff waived his objection to the manner in which [the defendant] pleaded its statute of limitations defense by failing to diligently raise and secure a ruling on that objection at the time of the summary judgment motion hearing.” (Coy, supra, 235 Cal.App.3d at p. 1086, fn. 5 .)

1945The court declined to upset the decree of distribution, holding ( 188 Cal. at 169 ) that “The court had jurisdiction to make an erroneous decree of distribution and even though the facts showing such error appeared upon the face of the decree, it would not be void as to such provisions.

1945The remedy would be by appeal.” The court in the same opinion ( 188 Cal. at 164, 165 ) had stated at some length the rule found at 11B Cal.Jur. p. 796, supra, and likewise stated in Keating v.
