Waiver means the intentional and voluntary giving up of a known right. It is the intentional and voluntary renunciation, abandonment, or surrender of some claim, right, or privilege.

When the pre-emptor took a leading part in bringing about the transaction by assisting the sellers in selling the land and encouraged the buyers in purchasing it and himself nego­tiated the price, the conduct of the pre-emptor is sufficient to give rise to waiver and acqui­escence and as such estoppel operates against him.
