The plaintiff, Penalta Group Ltd., brought a motion to extend deadlines for serving expert reports and setting the action down for trial, following a previous order that set aside an administrative dismissal for delay.
The defendant American Buildings Company opposed the motion, arguing for automatic reinstatement of the dismissal.
The court granted the extension for setting the action down for trial to November 3, 2022, and partially granted the extension for expert reports, specifically for Mr. Hartog's report to July 30, 2022.
However, a further extension for an additional expert report was denied due to insufficient evidence that an expert had been retained or how long it would take.
The court also granted leave for the plaintiff to continue the motion after serving the trial record.
