Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the lower court erred in allowing the defendant to introduce a crucial piece of evidence, an expert witness's report, after the closing of motions and discovery, without affording the plaintiff a meaningful opportunity to assess the merits of the document and adequately reply

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Question One (1). The lower Court and the Court of last resort affirmed a decision to allow the Defendant to introduce a crucial piece of evidence, an expert witness's report after the closing of motions and discovery. The Plaintiff was never allowed a meaningful opportunity to assess the merits of the document and to adequately reply. This creates a question of law that is of great importance and is of a departure so far from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, and/or has been sanctioned by a lower court, and affirmed by the court of last resort as to call for an exercise of this courts supervisory powers. This decision if left uncorrected would affect courts in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, and the judicial system as a whole. Page i
