When is the deadline for put written questions to an expert?
The catalogue records a 28 days period from Date on which the expert's report was served. 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.
