What is the test for an expert report that must be delivered at least 60 days before it can be tendered?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from McKay v. Passmore, 2005 BCSC 570 (CanLII):
I note that the decisions in C.A. v. Critchley, [1996] B.C.J. No. 3055 (S.C.) at para. 11, and Gibson v. Rickett, [1995] B.C.J. No. 2426 (S.C.) at para. 6, support the view that the expert report is to be delivered at least 60 days before it is tendered, in other words, support the proposition that the rule means what it says.
