When is the deadline for service of expert report?
The catalogue records a 84 days period from The scheduled trial date. 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
- 84 days
- Trigger
- The scheduled trial date
- 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.
- Court may otherwise order; general power under r 22-4(2). Rule 11-7(1) is the sanction: opinion evidence must not be tendered at trial unless the report was prepared and served in accordance with r 11-6, unless the court orders otherwise.
- BACKWARD, clear days. The written NOTICE that the report is served under the rule is a distinct requirement - service of the report alone is non-compliant. 84 days is 12 weeks; it interacts with the 42 day responding report deadline, so a report served exactly on time leaves the opposing party 42 days to respond.
