The following excerpt is from Blum v. City and County of San Francisco, 19 Cal.Rptr. 574, 200 Cal.App.2d 639 (Cal. App. 1962):
(b) The second contention made by plaintiffs likewise is without merit. That contention is based on a statement from Wilson v. Wilson (1958) 159 Cal.App.2d 330, 334, 323 P.2d 1017, 1020: 'The law seems well settled that acceptance of the fruits of a judgment and retention of the right to appeal therefrom, are not concurrent, but are wholly inconsistent. An election of either is a waiver and renunciation of the other.'
