Haywood V. Hittle

Deborah Hittle, a plaintiff below, appeals the trial court's denial of her CR 60 motion to vacate a jury verdict. She argued before the trial court that because Ildefonsa Aranda, the defendant below, had not filed proof of service of his demand for a trial de novo following the arbitration of Hittle's personal injury claim, the court erred in granting the trial de novo. We conclude that Hittle's failure to raise this defect until after the jury entered its verdict constitutes a waiver of her objection. Thus, we affirm.
