At a trial management conference for two related actions, the court addressed delays in obtaining a joint expert report on corporate finances and concerns regarding a party's capacity to testify following a stroke.
On consent, the court ordered peremptory deadlines for the production of financial documents to the expert and for the completion of the expert's report.
The court also ordered, on consent, that the party who suffered a stroke undergo an assessment to determine whether he is a person under a disability requiring a litigation guardian under the Rules of Civil Procedure.
