When is the deadline for service of expert report - party calling the expert?
The catalogue records a 90 days period from The pre-trial conference scheduled under r 50.02(1) or (2). 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
- The pre-trial conference scheduled under r 50.02(1) or (2)
- 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.
- r 3.02(1) court may extend or abridge. Under r 53.03(3) an expert witness may not testify with respect to an issue except with leave of the trial judge or the consent of the parties unless the report requirements have been met.
- BACKWARD from the pre-trial conference, not from the trial date - a frequent modelling error. Ninety days exceeds the seven-day threshold, so holidays ARE counted. The anchor date is itself derived: r 50.02(1) requires the parties to schedule the pre-trial conference within 180 days after the action is set down for trial.
