(1) Existing law requires a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication in a civil action or proceeding to be heard no later than 30 days before the date of the trial in the action or proceeding. Existing law requires a motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication to include a separate statement of undisputed facts, and opposition papers to include a separate statement that responds to each material fact contended by the moving party to be undisputed. Existing law requires opposition to a motion to be served and filed not less than 14 days before the date of the hearing motion, and a reply to the opposition to be served and filed not less than 5 days before the hearing on the motion. This bill would instead require the motion to be heard no later than 45 days before the date of trial. The bill would authorize the moving party to arrange the separate statement of undisputed facts by cause of action or count, and would require the separate statement filed in support of any opposition to be arranged in the same order as the moving party's separate statement with respect to facts contended to be undisputed. The bill would require opposition to a motion to be filed and served not less than 20 court days before the hearing, and require a reply to be filed and served not less than 10 court days before the hearing. (2) Existing law authorizes a court to determine a motion for a new trial or a motion to set aside and vacate a judgment within 60 days after the mailing of notice of entry of judgment by the clerk of the court, or 60 days after service on the moving party by any party of written notice of entry of judgment, or, if that notice has not been given, within 60 days after filing the first notice of intention to move for a new trial or to set aside and vacate a judgment. This bill would extend each of the periods described above to 75 days. (3) Existing law requires an expert witness who is a party or an employee of a party to an action, or who has been retained by a party for the purpose of forming and expressing an opinion in anticipation of litigation or in preparation for trial of the action, to produce any material or category of materials called for by a deposition notice no later than 3 business days before his or her deposition. Existing law requires the party taking the deposition of an expert witness to either accompany the service of the deposition notice with a tender of the expert's fee, or tender that fee at the commencement of the deposition. This bill would authorize the continuance of the expert's deposition if the expert does not timely produce materials, and would require the party designating the expert to be responsible for payment of the expert's fee at the continued deposition. The bill would provide that no other expert's deposition may be required until the continued deposition is concluded.
