When is the last day to exchange expert witness lists?
Date of exchange Lists must be exchanged 50 days before the trial date, or 20 days after service of demand, whichever is closer to the trial date. If that day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or court holiday, the last day to provide your list is the next court day closer to the trial date ( CCP § 2034.230(b)
How does the exchange of expert opinions work?
Once a demand is made, all parties must simultaneously exchange the names and addresses of every person who will offer an expert opinion in the trial. This exchange may occur at a meeting of the attorneys and self-represented parties in the case, or by mail. There is no Judicial Council form for this procedure.
Can a party demand the exchange of expert witness information?
Any party in the case may make a demand for exchange of expert witness information. Only one party in the case needs to make this demand. Once any party makes a demand, all parties must simultaneously disclose their expert witness information to all other parties in the case.
When do expert witness reports have to be submitted?
FRCP 26 (a) (2) (B) requires that reports be submitted 90 days before trial and that rebuttals be submitted 30 days after the other party’s disclosure. However, a stipulation or a specific date set by the court can (and often does) change this deadline in specific cases.
