When is the deadline for schedule of objections to passages in expert reports?
The catalogue records a 7 days period from Scheduled commencement of trial (counted backwards). This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Scheduled commencement of trial (counted backwards)
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Leave of the Court is required to object without having complied, and unless the Court otherwise orders the objecting party must pay the incremental costs of each other party occasioned by the failure (r 154.6(b)).
- Added on verification: mentioned only in a note by the researcher, but this is a separate obligation in a separate Division (Division 3, expert reports) from the tender book objections in r 154.5(a) (Division 2), with its own leave requirement and its own costs consequence.
