When is the deadline for simplified procedure - affidavits of witnesses and expert reports?
The catalogue records a 90 days period from Close of pleadings, as deemed by Rule 27.05. 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
- 90 days
- Trigger
- Close of pleadings, as deemed by Rule 27.05
- 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.
- Rule 3.02(1), (2) and (4). Rule 79.06(6) provides the sanction: 'Unless ordered otherwise, at the trial of the action, a party may not call as a witness a person whose affidavit of witness or expert report has not been served in accordance with paragraph (4) or (5).'
- SUBSTANTIVE EVIDENTIAL BAR ON DEFAULT. This is the simplified-procedure analogue of Rule 52.01, but unlike Rule 52.01 it is fully computable from the close of pleadings.
