=== Section 211 reports ===


If a party wishes to challenge any of the facts or opinions in a Section 211 report, that party must do so by cross-examination of the report writer.  There is no right of cross-examination of the report writer in Provincial Court;  instead a party wanting to cross-examine the report writer must apply to the court for an order allowing the party to do so.  The court application is made by notice of motion to a judge under Rule 12 and must be heard at least 14 days before the trial date.
