Serve expert reports
You'll need
- The other person's address for service
- Any expert reports you want to introduce at trial
- A Notice to Cross-examine (Form F43), if needed
If your case involves expert reports, make sure the following documents are served before the trial:
- At least 84 days before trial, serve on the other person any expert report you want to introduce at trial.
- If you want to respond to an expert report that you've been served with, serve your own expert report on the other person at least 42 days before trial.
- If the court orders a child-related assessment under section 211 of the Family Law Act, the person who prepares the report must file and serve a copy on all the people involved in the case (unless the court orders otherwise) at least 42 days before the trial.
- If you or the other person wants to cross-examine the person who prepared an assessment under section 211 of the Family Law Act, serve notice on that person and the other person, using a Notice to Cross-examine (Form F43), at least 28 days before the trial.
