MILO SHEFF, et al SUPERIOR COURT 

Hv. JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF HARTFORD/ 
NEW BRITIAN AT HARTFORD 

{WILLIAM O'NEILL 
| OCTOBER 9, 1990 

  

| MOTION FOR EXTENSION TO D 

E 

| 
OSE EXPERTS 

| PURSUANT TO P.B. S 20 ( 
    

Pursuant to Practice Book Section 220(D) defendants are 

| required to disclose the names of their experts within 120 days 

| £rom the date the case is claimed to the trial list. Plaintiffs 

have previously obtained an extension of time to disclose 

| experts. The defendants hereby request an extension of time to 

| disclose their experts for the following reasons: 

1. On September 24, 1990 the plaintiffs submitted 

  | interrogatories to the defendants which requested a list of names 

| 
i of expert witnesses which the defendants intend to offer. 

{ 

| 

Rd : : ; 
iDefendant 's response to those interrogatories, which is not yet 

due, will satisfy the disclosure requirements of Practice Book 

Section 220(D). Allowing the defendants to satisfy the 

requirements of this section of the practice book by responding 

NO ORAL ARGUMENT OR TESTIMONY REQUIRED   

 



  

    
[| 

lto the plaintiff's interrogatories will eliminate some confusion 

and duplication of effort. 

3. The present case presents an extremely broad challenge   
to the defendants' practices in regard to the complex field of 

leducation. Because of the wide range of possible issues upon 
{ 
; 

which the plaintiffs might want to offer expert testimony, the 

lldefendants will not know what kind of expert testimony they might 

need to seek until plaintiffs have identified their experts and 

the subject matter on which these experts will testify in 

it 

'laccordance with interrogatories which have been submitted to the 

plaintiffs. Since the defendants do not yet know what kind of   lexpert testimony they might need it is impossible for them to 

identify their own experts. 

¥ 
H 

| 4. Because of the unique nature of this particular piece of 
1] i 

litigation and the special treatment which is being afforded to 

|the case, the court is able to closely monitor this matter and is 

i 

/in a position to conduct a status conference at which agreements 

can be reached with regard to the scheduling of disclosure of 

|experts and other matters. Once the plaintiffs have disclosed 

|their experts, the defendants will be in a better position to 

|| know when it will be possible for them to identify their experts.   

  
 



  

i 
| 
The defendants will at that time request a status conference for 

||purposes of establishing deadlines. Counsel for the plaintiffs 

| 
thas been contacted and does not object to the granting of this 

motion. 

1 

WHEREFORE, the defendants request an extension of time to 
|] 
tf 

|disclose their experts pursuant to Practice Book Section 220(D), 

giving them until the date to be set by the court for providing 

that information.
