p0246 A trial court may solicit a stipulation by the parties to a more streamlined procedure for rendering a decision, but if it intends the streamlined procedure to abrogate the parties' statutory rights to object to the statement of decision, it must make this absolutely clear when soliciting the stipulation, and the record must disclose the express consent of the parties to surrender such rights.CitationBAY WORLD TRADING v NEBRASKA BEEF (Streamlined Procedure) 101 CA4 135 [See: CCP 632, 634; CA Rules of Court 232; Golden Eagle v Foremost 20 CA4 1372, T/AT 2/94]
