Practice question
A party attacks an order while holding all facts supporting an ordinary waivable objection. After losing, the party offers a more polished legal argument for that same omitted defect. No preserved-ground qualification applies. Does better drafting alone necessarily avoid omnibus waiver?
- Yes; every rewritten argument becomes a new factual defect.
- No.
- Yes; waiver never concerns known ordinary objections.
- Yes; a second caption always resets the rule.
- Yes; the first attack can reserve all objections by silence.
