Question presented

Ever since the Plaintiff discovered on July 6, 2017 that lyricist Leo Robin had been awarded a star by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce which it subsequently refused to install, he has tried all possible means to confer with the Hollywood Chamber to install the star awarded to Robin on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the end, the Hollywood Chamber ultimately failed do the right thing by not fulfilling its obligation to install the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in accordance with the binding written contract. During the trial court proceedings the Plaintiff repeatedly argued the waiver of performance of conditions precedent by the Hollywood Chamber. The waiver issue was never fleshed out earlier because the trial court and the Hollywood Chamber failed to acknowledge, overlooked and /or avoided this salient legal argument.
